If you run mplayer from the commandline (the best way to run it)  it will print out some tips if playback is too slow, including
  turning on framedropping (as mentioned) setting -cache 8192 (if you are playing from slow media eg dvd/cdrom) -autosync 30
  and some others I can't recall.
  Try playing it back smaller eg mplayer -xy 0.5 will half the resolution
  Slow video playback can be caused by a buggy sound driver as well.
  Getting graphics acceleration going is obviously the best thing, but with a processor 3x as fast as yours, dsl dma toram can get by without it (except for action movies or 3d games).
