Hi Mark, Thanks for the clarification. Not sure why I thought it was ARMv6. Still, I have an Rpi on order and due sometime in the next several years. I'd like ideally to replace some systems I have such as the TheoLinux router to save some power. More ram though :) I still wonder about heat. Also this VIA seems to have 2gb onboard flash + the weenySD slot.

Please correct me). http://apc.io/ No, the Raspberry Pi CPU is ARM11 (note, no v) 700MHz Broadcom BCM2835 SoC which is ARMv6 (the Linux distro I run debian armv6l). It's quite confusing, there are a few number schemes that all relate to different things with ARM and I don't fully understand them. http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs That so-called 'APC8750' board is a VIA Neo-ITX board also. The CPU setup looks almost identical to the RPi one save for the extra RAM and 100MHz. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/VIA-APC-8750-WonderMedia-ARM- Neo-ITX,15721.html -- Mark Benson http://DECtec.info Twitter: @DECtecInfo HECnet: STAR69::MARK Online Resource & Mailing List for DEC Enthusiasts.
