<br>
Well a search around has been a bit of a disappointment.<br>
<br>
Looks like it's about a £100 for putting something together using a C7<br>
or Atom based system. Going for a min-spec AMD system is cheaper and<br>
more powerful but also more power hungry.<br>
<br>
The VIA Nano systems look nice but not at the silly prices... And why<br>
are SBCs so expensive?...<br>
<br>
Almost tempting to go for a Linux netbook at just over £100 even though<br>
that seems to be quite a waste just for the sake of getting USB2 on my<br>
present via C3 system!<br>
<br>
<br>
Also, can DDR2-800 be run at 533MHz? Or will the SPD reported timings<br>
for the 800MHz operation completely confuse the BIOS?<br>
