[hpsdr] Sasquatch II

[Robert McGwier]

The Atom 300 series is impressive, as low power Intel part (8 watts
max) and with SSE2 and SSE3 which as we know is easily capable of very
high rates with complex numbers (SSE3).

The particular board you have shown is quite nicely laid out with very
nice graphics support (Intel mobile AGP based GPU).

If we could get a fairly low power drive and aggressively turn it off
and mostly run out of memory on RAM drives,  this could be a useful
low power computer.  It has hyperthreading (done much better this
time).


Did you get one of the fancy little heat fin cases for portable/automobile use?
