| Can DVDs play smoothly in XP with 240 ram? My Toshiba Satellite laptop only has 240 MB of ram (1.20 GHz) and I'm assuming that's why DVDs cannot play very smoothly? Or is there some other secret to it? I don't want to upgrade the memory if it wouldn't solve the problem. The CD/DVD player is SD-C2502. Any help appreciated (I can't stand watching jittery DVDs)!

| Re: Can DVDs play smoothly in XP with 240 ram? Yes I have tried this (turning off all other programs--including Google Desktop and antivirus programs and Firewall)! The problem has existed ever since I first purchased the computer.
