Because we lose an appreciable amount of performance with the CPU in a laptop I was looking at the XP2000+ plus mark. What I be right in say this is probably overkill and I shouldn't have any problems?

Back to year 2000, I used Celeron 266, 128M and Voodoo Banshee to play DivX very well. Laptop should be similar but be sure to have a fast 2D video card.

i believe divx decoding is mostly cpu, not video card. my tbird 750 could play all my encoded divx files, some encoded to like 1500 bitrate. while my friends 700 celeron stutters on high encoded divx
