unfortunately x86 cannot be beat, if the object of the game is price/performance. i'm trying to work out the details on a non-intel fanless atom system. it appears that everything works well on this system; dual-ethernet, serial, sata, ata, usb. i haven't yet tried the on-board vga. it looks to be in the price range of the fancier gumstix motherboards. - erik
