Nonsense, my stripped down WinXP installation (acting as a router) is consuming ~95MB (no swap) of RAM with most useless services still running. The installation is less then 400MB on a FAT disk (i.e.; uncompressed, no journal, no SSD wear (if you believe in that, i don't, but thats another story)).
Not speaking from experience with the Geode's, but I won't be surprised that a average nLite'd/XPLite'd Windows XP would run just fine. And by the way, I could be wrong, but I thought I had an PIII 500~600Mhz running WinXP back in those days, don't know for sure though
. (also, if i remember correctly Geode's have an higher IPC compared to the PIII's)
Regarding the OP's awesome device; This really makes me interested, especially since the price isn't too high (considering the endless possibilities). It could also serve as an pretty neat router/firewall if i'd stopped using it actively (although the lack of gigabit is quite a bummer).
