bit late but thanks for starting another thread instead of hi-jacking this one
Are you going to get a SAM460? I'd love to see some tests run on that.
Basically, the 460EX is a 440 core with an FPU that clocks up to 1.15 Ghz. Its one of Applied Micro's nicer processors. While other 460s may support more PCI-e lanes or a slightly higher speed, they don't all have an FPU. It's a definite improvement over the SAM440.
I also like the 464EX based APM82181, lthough it only has 1 PCI-e lane and is slightly slower (1 Ghz).
And the new Packet ProAPM86190 really looks interesting with its 465 core clocked at uo to 1.5 Ghz.
Let us know what you decide and how things work out.
