I just posted this yesterday. Here it is again:

Just an FYI... If you have a choice use your firewire port on your EPIA-M10K instead of the USB port. Firewire is a streaming interface and will do DVD playback without skipping frames. USB2.0, although the listed speed is faster than firewire is listing its burst transfer rates. Firewire streams faster than USB2.0, and because USB is an interruptible interface, it cannot stream and is not good for true DVD playback.

Will USB 2.0 work? Kind of. But it requires more CPU and you will lose frames during playback.

Found a really thorough article on USB2.0 vs Firewire here:
