Hi,

150 Mhz is enough!  I once used a 133 Mhz Pentium CPU with a fullfeatured DVBs 
and NFSROOT. Everything worked just fine. If I remember right, even DVD 
playback caused no trouble. Only the OSD Games plugin needed a little more 
CPU power  ;) ..

I don't know if you could use a remote dvd drive. I once asked the same 
question to the list here but there was no encouraging answer. So best way 
would be to connect a cheap DVD drive to the IDE port. This is what I did. 
Not very beautiful because the 'internal' drive is outside ontop of my case. 
(my case is too small for the drive to fit inside, even with an epia 
board...)  But it works and this is all I need ;)
