Internal DVD players for the Wallstreet w/the PCCard decoder would be cheaper...external USB DVD drives are unusually expensive, and most don't guarantee Mac OS compatibility with DVD playing.

But they did have DVD players on 66 Mhz notebooks (early iBooks), so go for it. I would recommend a CardBus DVD drive. It would be bus powered (less cables) and probably a bit faster. Check compatibility though. I was thinking of an external DVD player, connected to the Wall Street. Is that feasable? >And the Wallstreet's DVD decoder card is not supported by OS X in case you didn't know. I don't plan on getting OS X anyway. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
