Building a low end system for someone for DVD and internet browsing purposes only.

but before all the parts get here i was curious if i should grab a DVD decoder card as well incase the Vid card or CPU isn't good enough for good DVD playback. (Mainly Vid card)

Specs:

mATX Intel board
Celeron 633
256Mb PC100
5400 RPM IDE HD
TNT2 16Mb PCI (This one has me wondering)
8x or 10x DVD Drive (still looking for this one)


If anyone has any input i'd appreciate it.

just wanna go ahead and grab a decoder card if it would help.

I would get a DVD Decoder card since you only have a Celeron 633 and a 16 mb video card. This way you do not have issues later.

I bought a Creative 6x DVD with the decoder card and it has run perfect on my p3-500. It even had sVideo i think I can't remember.
In fact, it is about 2 years old and works perfectly if you'd like to buy it. If interested email me @ igs@e-twitch.com
I bought a dvd deck for the house and haven't used the one in the computer since. I have no need for it.
