I use an Athlon 800 desktop machine with 256M of 133MHz ram and find it to be barely fast enough for playing DVDs and AVIs. So it's not a great surprise to me that you are having performance problems. I think that part of the issue is optimisation of the players.

I use an Athlon 800 desktop machine with 256M of 133MHz ram and find it to be barely fast enough for playing DVDs and AVIs.

Looks OK to me, but I'd have to check with my own sis630 system (not now, it's 2 am :( ). Are you using thomas winischhofer's sis630 driver and (optional) kernel patch combined with the sisfb kernel framebuffer driver.
