im guessing roughly:

pentium 2
8mb video card
64mb ram.

would be bare minimum, might be a bit choppy.

though, i have a celeron 450, with 64mb ram and 8mb onboard video thats plays dvds fine.

The chances are that if you can see your screen, the video card is enough to burn/watch DVDs. The programs you choose to do that though may have their own requirements.
