I know they are for embedded systems and sorry if "funny" offended you, but I keep hearing these companies tell me how good their ARM, MIPS, POWER are going to be in my server then they ship embedded specific boards. I can go buy a Intel or AMD board for a PC and write / port software. I'm still waiting for the same from other manufactures. This is one reason I'm really not sold on the ARM server boards since every company makes it a pain in the rear to buy one.
