How do I get DivX or XviD files to play properly on my Gateway Solo 1200 laptop?

Question

The sound plays but the video is really choppy and slow.

Specs:

800 MHz Celeron, 312 MB RAM, 8MB Video memory, 10GB HDD,

I'm using VLC media player for now... as it was recommended as the best... any suggestions as to how I could make it work on these specs?
