Burning DVD's on a Pismo

I have a Pismo 400MHz, 768 RAM, 40G running 10.3.9. Obviously the first thing I need is the DVD burner. Probably will go with the internal. But I was wondering if I had enough horsepower to accomplish this. Anybody out there burning DVDs on a Pismo? What upgrades would help the most? G3 900
