Make sure that your graphics card is setup up properly (with hardware 
accelleration).  Without it a 600mhz Celeron is going to struggle to play 
DVDs.  run mplayer from a terminal and see what video device it uses.  It 
should use XV.  If it uses x11, that's your problem.

I had a 600mhz Celeron with 256mb Ram and 128mb Radeon 7500 - the difference 
between xv and x11 was the difference between smooth DVD and not.
