Thanks for the infos. The fit-pc2 looks very interesting, how would you compare it with this: <a href="http://www.pcx.com.ph/index.php/intel-blkd510mo-w-intel-atom-dc.html">http://www.pcx.com.ph/index.php/intel-blkd510mo-w-intel-atom-dc.html</a> in terms of image processing capabilities?<br>

If you are looking for a small, low power x86 type computer you should checkout the <a href="http://www.fit-pc.com/web/" target="_blank">fit-pc2</a>.  We&#39;ve had good success with these computers.<div><br></div><div>--</div>

</div></div>I&#39;m in Chicago and building a hobby robot. I&#39;m currently using an<br>
old Dell notebook computer (with the display removed) and an AVR<br>
microcontroller. I plan to have a single webcam, two motor<br>
controllers, two ultrasonic rangefinders, a gyroscope and a GPS.<br>

So far, I seem to have sufficient computing capacity, but the<br>
whole thing is a bit heavy. 8^(<br>
