Re: semi-OT: nettop for looping

["Ben" <benoitruelle@yahoo.fr>]

Some EEE (701?) are running a celeron I think but I saw on forums that 
someone managed to use it to run (without too much latency) the Guitar Rig 
from native intruments. The atom is supposed to be faster but there might 
be 
some cache memory issues?

For the price of a rc50, it would be great to loop on such a portable PC.

Ben.
