It depends what you are trying to do. For playing DVD and divx movies 
this is absolutely the most lowend machine you can use. DVD will never 
work good on this machine with VLC. Larger DIVX movies won't work 
either.

You could try setting the hurry up option for better divx playback, but 
you will loose a lot of quality i guess.
The option is quite well hidden.

Preferences->Interface->show advanced options  (Click Apply)
Now go to the Decoders part of the preferences.
 From the dropdown list choose 'ffmpeg' and click 'configure'
enable 'hurry up' click OK and click OK (never click the 'select' 
button)
