There are other ways to work around the lack of a DVD decoder codec in XP. If you aren't going to be creating content and are just looking for playback options, then try downloading and installing the CCCP (The Combined Community Codec...

It depends on what kind of applications you're talking about. For most office apps there won't be much of a difference. But for anything that is graphic/media intensive, including many internet apps, you'll notice a hit. I hope this...
