Yes. They are not comparable. That was my point. I think for what we are talking about here the $35 to $45 ARM boards are best. No argument.
But for twice that (and about 10W power) you can have a "real PC" that can run even VMware and Apache. To run that $80 Intel Atom board you would need to add a RAM stick ($20 to $25) and some kind of storage, at least a USB flash drive. Unless you wanted to boot of the network.
