According the that HOWTO link, cache sizes are the significant factor with the 4801. Given the GeodeLX has a 64kb data and 64kb instruction cache plus 128kb L2 cache (taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geode_(processor)#Geode_LX ) I'd expect it to fare better but don't have any hands-on experience with LVS personally. I don't know why the author(s) are busting on CF so much. IMO once the OS is loaded into RAM from the CF its not really an issue. All my setups are booted read-only and using MFS for anything needing frequent writes (under FreeBSD 6/7/8). -Proto _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
