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.
