What speed processor do you have?  I upgraded my Myth box from a PIII 500 to
a Celeron 2.4Ghz and I still can't play DVDs through the 350's frame buffer.
I can tell it's faster than the 500Mhz box but the video is still jumpy and
the sound is skipping and my CPU is pegged at 100%.

What does your CPU usage look like when playing a DVD?

Thanks
