SIS662 onboard video gives slow choppy video

Thank you to anyone who can help me with this issue.
I am new to Linux and am loving it so far, but I'm having an issue I just can't seem to crack. I've got an itx board with a SIS662 built in video that works with the VESA driver, but when I play video (AVI, MP4, Divx) the video is very slow and choppy. zSNES is also slow and choppy. These are the 2 main functions of this PC.
I've tried Slacko 5.5 and Precise 5.6.1 (preferred). zSNES works fine in Slacko, and some vids work fine as well, but nothing seems to work well in Precise. I used to be a PC Tech (windows and dos) so based on my experience I'm assuming its a video driver issue. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change drivers in these environments. Not to mention figuring out where to get the drivers to begin with.
Is there some kind of tool that will allow me to install the win drivers in either puppy or precise? Or is there some other driver that I can load that will make my problems go away?
Thank you very much for your time
