yes.
vga card _AND_DRIVER_ does matter a lot!

for example, with a k6-2 450 + matrox G400 + mga_vid driver it plays DVD
without framedrop... but my P3-733 at work can't do that with S3 trio3D AGP!
(but do that with old Tseng ET6000 PCI :))

and also memory bandwith matters (normal celeron has 66Mhz FSB).
cpu isn't so important, because most time of decoding is spent by memory
read/write waiting.
