Then I must have been very lucky so far as I have put many Atom's in many machine's. Both on Linux and Windows and I have had no issues but then I do not use the D525. The boards that I suggested uses a D2800/D2700 or the likes of it. I have a D525 on my Mill with a touch screen and there I can see some slow behaviour on the display but never on the machining side.
