Here's the basics of the system I'm planning for a friend:

1.3GHz Duron
ATi Radeon 7000 OEM
256MB PC2100
EPoX 8K7A

How with the DVD performance be? She' under heavy budgetary contraints so we're very limited in what we can do. If it comes down to it, she maybe be able to sacrifice her CD burning capability which will free up ~$40 (the ATi Radeon 7500 is $38 more than the 7000 at newegg).

Thanks.

Easily more then adequate and should handle DVD playback exceptionally well.
The Radeon 7/8XXX has the indsutry's best DVD playback capabilities, and the Duron 1.3GHz is easily more then adequate for playing back any DVD with hardware acceleration provided by the R7000.
Image quality should be extremely nice as well, ATi's cards have always had exceptional DVD playback capabilities.
