Hi, I just joined this forum 5 days ago :D

I want to ask what player best for P120 (that's old Pentium) beside Media Player 6.4?

I got my old laptop @ P120 with 16MB Edo Ram, and right now I'm still using it for MP3 and MPEG playing. I just want to play Ogg and might be other audio and movie format on that laptop.

thank you so much

I think that any of this would work good in P120

For windows:
wimap 2 http://classic.winamp.com/

For gnu/linux:

mpg321 for mp3 (command line)
ogg123 for ogg (command line)
xmms for mp3,ogg, mpeg1 (Xwindow)
mplayer for MPEG, ogg or mp3 (command line)

If your Laptop has a graphics card capable of displaying a Video-Overlay, there should be no Problem playing MPEG-1 (VCD).
But if there is no overlay at all, you cannot playback Video fluidly at all, like on my Compaq LTE 5280.
It's fine for MP3 and Office but not for Video...

My laptop doesn't have any problem on reading MPEG1 / VCD file. They played fine. but seems that the original Media Player 6.4 can't play much format such as ogg (even with Tobias' OggDS, it can't play well) and others, so it can't satisfy me :D

I have use winamp 2.91 and seems that it can't play video (even MPEG1) well. a bit laggy.

I want a one multifunctional player such as MPC or BSPlayer, but if these players might not run well on P120Mhz, then MP6.4 and Winamp 2.91 is my last choice :eek:

by the way, thank you for the information :)
