Only one sidenote on your last comment about playing DVDs . DVD playing 
involves
not only the CPU and the main memory of the system but also the GPU ( 
for example
nVidia MX 440 )  and the memory of the graphics card . So a good video 
adapter
with say 128 MB RAM can pretty easily scramble the presence of  an old 
CPU with
just about enough memory .  For example my system now reports 650600 KB RAM
as used and all i have running is KDE , Mozilla , Firestarter and my 
internet connection
on a Fedora Core 1 machine .
