An athlon 64 3500+ is 2200MHz.

Running anything other than native resolution on an LCD will generally
look very bad, or at least rather blurry.  Personally I hate 1280x1024
since it screws with the pixel shape on most displays.  I wish 19" and
17" were either 1280x960 or some other sensible resolution that left the
pixels square. </rant>

I thought DVDs looked just fine on my computer.  Probably depends on the
decoder/player.
