I don't think that CPU will cut it. I had a 486 o/c to 100Mhz that could
*just* play some MP3s (mono, downspampled, and with large buffers). Oh, if the
song was long it would croak as the buffers ran out.

If you take a look at the web site it says use a P75+ and just maybe a 486
120/133Mhz system will cut it.
