I've had the same video card in my 400 MHz Giganet G4 since I bought it new in 2001. It supported my 22" Samsung flatscreen out of the box when I upgraded about three years ago. And yes, I can watch full screen DVD movies without problems. I seriously doubt a "bottleneck" as most internet broadband connections are not really *that* fast. Connection speeds can vary as I've seen cable/DSL slow down to a virtual crawl on machines much faster than mine. Now, a bottleneck would certainly occur with high end video/graphics production no doubt as compared to today's machines but that is not the issue here...
