Yes. MPlayer should even work on a slower Pentium Pro.

What's usual? It will probably produce as much heat as a compile
of Linux. Can you reduce the clock?

When they're overclocked, it's hard to know. Normally, I would expect
a 750 to be a Duron or low-end Athlon. If Intel, a PIII or Celeron
version of a PIII.

Yes, but what if you want to listen to something on the sound card
at the same time?
