Yes, this should work fine, so long as your system is fairly powerful / not too overloaded. My living room system is a Pentium II and I never had a problem with that. The office system is an older Pentium 120 which I can’t be bothered to upgrade at the moment. At first I had problems playing from the CD ROM on that – I kept getting skips in the playback. However I changed the Windows config to user the newer, faster hard drive in the machine for virtual memory, rather than the slower, original drive, and that seems to have fixed the problem, so long as I don’t fire up something that really grabs all the resources.
