I have an Asus A7N8X-deluxe mobo. I have an AMD Athlon XP 1.6gig CPU. For some reason, when watching a DVD, it is extremely slow. It's like the DVD is running in slow motion. I checked the display tab in dxdiag, and it says i have no direct3d acceleration. Anyone know a fix?

Try updating your video drivers.  What video card do you have?

It's an outdated Matrox Mystique. I checked on the website, and their last update was sometime in 2002. I guess a new video card is in order.

You need a video card to play any type of movies... 
If you want to watch h264 HD..you need a 7600GF or better.
