In 2008 and previous, the processor was a small PIC that occasionally ran out of space and lacked hardware floating-point capability, making it difficult to do trig or other complex math operations without using lookup tables. That's when it would have been useful to have a co-processor, not now.

You obviously haven't tried to do any advanced and/or low latency image processing.

I'm confused as to how the CPU heat sink would effect Ethernet connectivity, but if that really is the problem, just drill some holes or glue or tape the fan on.
The thrills of a heroic repair, a well deserved award, a compliment on our efforts, the growth of our team members, making new friends.... These can make a memorable and exciting FIRST regional as much as a close match. - Mark Pierce [more]
