I read a few years ago that you needed a 450 Mhz Pentium II/III processor to decode DVDs (or full-screen MPEG2) in real time. So, comparing the horsepower between Intel and Motorola families, I bet you'll need at least a 233 Mhz G3 in order to do that - I can't say it for sure, but the limit must be somewhere near there. Because of that, with a 601 processor, the DVD-ROM drive will be of use only as an storage device...
