Clock speed isn't everything...from a page on one of their other products, the 'MicroServer GP/GP+' (http://www.norhtec.com/products/gp/details.html): > NorhTec's first microservers are based on the SiS 55x SoC.

So a 166 MHz processor of this type might be competitive with a processor in an average NAS, maybe more so. They have other similar products, although more expensive, that would be suitable for running SlimServer. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26692 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
