Blu ray playback issues on PC

I have fitted a Blu ray drive to my computer, but playback is not quite as it should be and i'm not sure what is wrong.
Computer is a dual-core Xeon 2.33GHz with 2GB and an NVIDIA 7300 GT 128mb DDR3 (PCI-E x1, not x16)
I am using PowerDVD 8 and a 20" monitor at 1280 x 1024. Picture quality is incredible, much better than non-bluray, but it stutters on fast action scenes and every now and again randomly. Any idea what might be wrong? Do i need a better graphics card?

That is whats wrong. Buy a £30 ati 4350 or similar0 -
Tried updating your graphics driver?
Id guess your graphics card isnt up to the job as most computers struggle even displaying a small bitrate 1080P image, never mind a full blown high bitrate one:idea:0 -
Its a rather unusual one i'm afraid since I only have PCI Express slots up to size x8. This means a x16 card will not fit in my machine. AFAIK you cannot get PCI-E x4 or x8 graphics cards... only x1.
You are absolutely right... i should update the graphics drivers and check the settings too.
I am wondering if windows is also busy doing things which might be causing slowdown.0
