Looking ahead to AMD's 3rd-generation APU -- at least 1 teraflops of compute power. http://www.legitreviews.com/news/13398/ will that power be useful for crunching? or maybe when GPU crunching comes out?  |

Cool Kate
----------------------------------------I know it's not strictly linux (Linux is there under the covers like Android) but you really should check out XBMC on the Pi http://www.raspbmc.com/wiki/user/windows-installation/ It's remarkable, all the more so given that Sam Nazarko is 18 !! I might have to get another one 1920 by 1080 HD streaming straight from t'Internet powered by micro usb phone charger !! It gives my PC a rest from TV duties so it can get on with just CRUNCHING  XMBC overclocks the processor to 800Mhz so it's just hot to the touch. The Pi is amazing you will love it Dave  |

I just got my Raspberry Pi up and running. Fun! Now that I know it works, I will get a wireless dongle for it.

Hi Kate Stay on this list http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals and you won't have too much trouble Yup, I'd found that list and the dongle I ordered is on it. I've been investigating whether it's possible to crunch on an RPi. Somebody has managed to get the SETI app for ARM running on it. I haven't succeeded yet but have not given up. Milkyway might be the other possibility, as it too has an "anonymous platform" option. |
