here's what i've recently tested with 9atom:

1: (atom 330)
	supermicro x7sla-h motherboard
	supermicro 502l-200b chassis
	2gb (2x1gb) memory

and 2: (pineview d510, my terminal)
	supermicro x7spa-h motherboard
	same chassis
	4gb (2x2gb sodimm)

i recently tested a
	supermicro x8sil-f motherboard
	xeon x3440 2.53ghz processor
	4gb (2x2) memory
	tested outside a chassis.

this is really a fast setup.  i was getting <3sec
kernel builds (even compiling the myricom driver).
i'm sure my slow fs was holding things back.

cavets:
1.  use 2gb dimms.  there are strange requirements
for multiple dimms per channel.

2.  use a recent 9atom, otherwise the board can't
find any pci devices.
