yes. as long as you match it with decent 800mhz DDR2 RAM. we have a unit from another supplier that doesn't [have 800mhz RAM], and it's surprisingly shit. we've yet to determine what else they've done but it's also running android, it's exactly the same CPU, so it should be fine. > (Incidentally, the board has SATA, USB master, USB slave, genuine > serial, SD, mini-HDMI, ethernet, a 3.5mm jack marked YPbPr, audio out, > and an infrared receiver; it also has headers for LCD/touch panel, > Audio/FM, Wifi/GPS/BT, a camera, DTV decoder, and JTAG.
