I don't have a CD-rom drive connected to this machine permanently, it 
was only connected temporarily via a USB cable.  It ran ok (about as 
choppy), so I thought by installing it fully I'd see it run a little
better.

The machine is an IBM NetVista, PIII 933MHz box with 256mb ram.
It's also got (obviously) an FX5200, so I would think it's got the 
horsepower to do 30 fps or so.
