@Sean: Not exactly. I have a Pocket PC with a 624mhz Xscale. The performance is nowhere near a 300mhz x86 cpu, let alone a 600mhz. As for getting 10, your average computing tasks scale horribly to parallel processors. 10 500mhz CPUs do not equal 1 5ghz CPU.

@Blademonkey: I don't know the exact unit you're talking about, but I assume it was a nanoITX board running a VIA CPU and NB. NanoITX is pretty nifty, and at 12cmX12cm with a ~1.2ghz x86 cpu, it has a decent performace/size ratio.

@Ethan: Well... there aren't all that many choices for OSs with GUIs for XScale. Your choices are basically PalmOS, WinCE, or a tiny linux distro like Familiar with Qtopia or GPE as a GUI.]]>Jun 29th 2006 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/06/29/compulabs-tiny-ass-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2006/06/29/compulabs-tiny-ass-pc/
By the time you've added all the extras it's around $200... and you still need something to mount it on. For embedded control however, it's a very nice system.

For a small Linux SD based computer check out the Technologic Systems TS-7300 (www.embeddedarm.com).
