I found a very old pentium 2 MMX computer running windows ME and I tried watching xvid and mpeg1 videos and they all play slow when I go Fullscreen!!

They play good when in compact mode, which is 320x240 and windowed. it's a 200mhz processor and it is very old, from 1997. Is it normal for fullscreen videos to stutter this bad?

it looks like im watching a slideshow when it's playing xvid/divx fullscreen.
It only has 64mb ram!!!

wow thats bad!!! I can't play any games newer than 1996 on it! only nfs 1 works, not even 2 worked it was extremely slow.
 
I have an old 64 Athlon 3400 pc at home and that will struggle to play videos in HD. Your pentium mx is much older than that so i would expect it to struggle with videos at much lower resolutions than HD ones.
