You can do the same with video and pictures. I transform a more recent and more powerful laptop that runs windows 98 and a slideshow of picture at startup using exactly the same method and material. The hardware is a pentium at 80 or 100MHz with a color display.

The same computer can smoothly run color videos, uncompressed and without sound.
The following video is from this laptop but the idea is the same as in the instructions and it works the same way to built it. The comptuer is simply a little bit more powerful.

Wow great improvements in the new interface. I love the first one. I'm thinking about installing Linux on a such a laptop, probably on a flash memory card in order to reduce the noise coming from the laptop. With Linux on such a system, I think we can make some damn good things
