[Skimmertalk] CPU for Skimmerserver

[marcelo at alternex.com.br]

Let me try again. I hope this email keeps the formatting.
 
First, thank you all for all the answers.
 It seems that the i3 system I am looking at is quite good for the job. In
fact, even the Atom 330 I currently have at the remote station might work! 
Thanks Bob, N6TV for the useful benchmark link. 
 
Pete, for sure the skimmers will connect to the RBN. I am travelling to
Florianopolis in South Brazil (@ PP5EG - PT5T)this weeked to put the first one on.
I did some very limited tests from home during the CQWW weekend. 
Again thanks for all inputs and help. 
Here is the summary. I´ve included the CPU MAX TDP - Thermal Design
Power- as a hint to the energy consumption.  I am including the table in the body,
but in case it loses its formatting the excel file is also attached.
