I have a DVD-ROM drive on both a 400mhz k6-2 and an Athlon 650, neither use
hardware decoding and with PowerDVD Player software they both play
perfectly.

> Witha 733mhz PC, should I be concerned whether the DVD comes with hardware

550mhz), software decoding was no good...you'd get a lot of skips.
