is it possible at all.....to put a DVD drive and watch DVD's in a PowerMac 6500/225? What would I need to do to my system? (aside from putting a DVD drive in)

Thanks

I believe you can get an MPEG-2 DVD decoder card, because Apple's software decoder will not run on a 6500 (at least without a processor upgrade).
