Re: Best board for vision processing (beagle/panda/beaglebone/etc?)

Memory can make a huge difference.

I have a 256Pi that I host my Java based wiki on. Pretty slow.
Move to 512Pi, and the speed improves by 20%, a little overclock to 900mhz and speed is 30% over original Pi

New cubieboard arrived, 1Gb mem, rate is now 50% faster than 256 PI. Board cost is up to $49. So memory will make a difference.

Remember too that the USB pins also drive the ethernet, so you may have a bottleneck there.
