What makes the system stand out, from say a Atom based PC?
As you said, PCI Express, *actual* low power and probably higher speed
-all cpus mention are faster than the Atom at least in relative terms.
The SoC design means less components on the board, so smaller sizes

Hi,
First some introductions. I'm Konstantinos Margaritis, a long time
Amiga/BeOS/Linux user/developer and a PowerPC fan, former Debian
Developer, also a SIMD/AltiVec fanat
ticular kernel/driver knowledge and neither did have to do
anything extremely low-level to acquire the data. Both used windows
user-level programming, though that was ~8years ago so don't expect me
to remember the exact VME boards or APIs used...
