We're switching from x86 to PowerPC because we won one of IBM's 'Linux on POWER' grants. This is great, because now we've got actual processing power, a nice ISA, the same power consumption, and even more peripherals.
- We spent some real time searching for a good PowerPC chip. We decided on the Freescale MPC5200 after nothing else fit the bill.
- We originally chose the MEN Micro PP1 PCI-104 board, but ran into too many problems with the board to make it useful.
- We're now currently using TQ-Components TQM5200
