Client PC (laptop) questions

[topperdude]

Would a P3-800Mhz laptop be powerful enough as a client for playing back TVs (SD and HD) and DVDs fed from server and output to CRT TV via S-video?

I am guessing it should be good enough for DVDs and SD material, just not sure if it will suffice for the HD stuff?

Thanks,

the video card in it is probably more the question
normally the the earlier video cards in laptops didnt have good svideo output
all you can do is try it see if it works

I you run out of horse power you can stream via the EWA. I can watch TV on a PII this way
