Hi William, 

I was just talking to an electronics wiz I know the other day, and he
said he had come across an embedded board with 600Mhz (overclockable to
800Mhz) MIPS (I think) processor , 4x lan ports, 2x mini PCI, IDE (could
be mini) and a power consumption of a couple of watts.  I'm not 100%
sure but I believe he said it comes preinstalled with linux, and is
certainly targeted at the linux embedded market.

I can get more info if you like.
