[PD] [OT] mini-ITX again

[David Merrill]

Hi Derek -
The fan is pretty quiet, so I wouldn't worry about fan noise in your  
equation.. With respect to which EPIA board - I have been happy with  
the performance of all of the ones I've used, but I wasn't doing  
particularly compute-heavy operations most of the time. For instance,  
I have a voice recorder/sampler/looper application that serves 4  
people at the same time from a single EPIA board, and has no trouble  
(on either the 1.5Ghz board, the 1.2, or a 1.0) - but when I tried to  
run two instances of PD that were each doing multiple partitioned  
convolutions (I think 8 partconv~ objects in each patch) it started  
to have trouble on the 1.0 board. In general, linux and PD run well  
on the VIA boards. If you want to do any graphics though, you will  
absolutely need to install the VIA-specific graphics drivers,  
otherwise it runs really clunky. Actually, for whatever you're doing,  
using the VIA drivers is probably a good idea, to get the maximum HW  
utilization.
