Hi,

Theoratically, yes. Whe running DOS and a good Dos-mpeg player it should be possible to play VCD's on a 90Mhz Pentium. I wouldn't recommend it, but it can be done. If you're currently running Windows9x it will probably not work.

A 150 mhz 32Mb would work a lot better, but best would be (if you wanne run under windows9x) to get at least a 166MMX with 32/64Mb.

Greetz,

Well, it depends what you mean by "play VCDs". The movie will run, but the motion will likely not be smooth, to the extent that you will become quite annoyed.

i also haf a slow labtop and windows 95(heh heh) and tried playin som vcd and it was like horrible

Well, I used to have a P133 and tried playing VCD's. The video was broken AND blocky. Just horrible! You'll need at least a Celeron for "decent" playback.
