The other thing is that to make DVD playback possible it is all done in hardware to avoid stutters, meaning that the upgrade will get me to the situation I am already in, to slow to play DVD's on the desktop. Particularly when DVD playback hardware is not supported under Linux.
there is linux DVD playback hardware http://dxr3.sourceforge.net/index.html it appears to have moved on a bit since I last looked. Of course you could always get a 2 x pci card riser and slap that into a mini-itx box to get a hardware dvd decoder and something else.
