DMA is enabled.  I've tried playing a video through nfs, which I do 
regularly, as well as on the hard drive.  I've tried a dvd iso, MPEG2, 
as well as XviD and x264 encoded movies.

I just set up a Dell GX1 with a P3/500, 160MB RAM, onboard ATI Rage 
Pro, and I'm able to play an xvid over the network with no stuttering 
using today's svn pull of mplayer and all of the same files I used for 
the codecs.  It's really weird.  I've tried different sound cards, 
different network cards, different video cards, different RAM, etc.  
Other than swapping out the processor and motherboard, which I don't 
have of this type, I'm stuck.  Oh well, maybe it's a linux driver 
issue.  The processor isn't overclocked either......I dunno.

Thanx for the suggestion....
