Apples to oranges analogy may work with the CPU. Capability would have
to tested to know which one performs better. But apples and oranges
doesn't apply to double the size of the RAM, Gb Ethernet vs 10/100 and
all the extras.
Again I would like to see ALIX get an update to a more modern processor,
with support for more RAM and Gb Ethernet.
