I'm currently shopping around for a small motherboard that I can put in a "headless" (no screen, mouse, keyboard) box as a laptop replacement for live performance. There's quite a few different processors to choose from on the Mini-ITX site, but I wonder if anyone has any experience using them for audio?
Of course there's Intel Pentium M and Core, Core Duo and Celeron processors, as well as various VIA and Nehemiah CPUs.
Any recommendable? Any to avoid? The system will be harddrive-less (Linux OS on CF card), so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
best, derek
