that sucks. I have a older TOshiba P2 300 that runs Divx and Xivd perfectly

lol @ p2/300 Yeah it plays Divx if the file is a 300kps stream. you'll get about the same performance on the iBook as the P2... poor on anything worth watching.

NO any movie you download works fine on my P2 i dont know the stats but no skips and smooth

That might work on someone else, but I don't have to believe you right? Just checking :)

DivX Minimum Requirements (http://www.divx.com/divx/system_requirements.php)
DivX®

Windows
Pentium II 450 processor or equivalent

Mac
400Mhz G3 or faster

but like I said, what ever runs on that P2/300 will run on the iBook 300. Because they are both under spec for doing anything with DivX

minimum requirement mean crap all. Anyways i dont have to prove myself to you.
