I would say you want at least a P3 or equivlant and make sure you have a fast DVD-rom drive and lots of Ram. The limiting factor is the DVD drive, make sure to get an 8x drive. There are software packages you can get that read up to 30min ahead on the disc to allow for smooth viewing and less battery drain with constant drive spinning. I would look into that as well. Cheap software pack, might allow you do view seamlessly on you P2.
