depending on the vidcard, that setup in your laptop should be more than sufficient to play any compressed video smoothly.
my desktop is thus:
AMD Athlon 750mhz
256mg of pc100 ram
ATI Radeon 7500
OS: Win98se
and I have no trouble whatsoever with video of any kind playing smoothly.
I would suspect one of two things:
either your vidcard really is shitty (a distinct possibility)
or
have you got a shitload of processes running in the background? this will be especially problematic if you are running WinXP on a mere 256 mb of ram. try shutting down everything before playing the video and see what happens.
also, are both systems running the same OS?
