^^ thanks man.
im on the fence now because of the gooseberry board.
Gooseberry- An alternative to Raspberry Pi
it costs twice the raspi at $63 (if that price is actually the shipping price), BUT it has almost twice the speed @ 1500mhz, better algorithm that could count up twice the processing power (Arm11 vs Cortex-A8), double the RAM, faster GPU (Mali400MP vs VideoCore 4) and built wifi.
***think Iphone 3G upgrade to Iphone 4S is you get the idea of an upgrade.
however, who knows if the gooseberry will materialize. im just hating the fact that raspi wont ship to me until nov. 4 (as quoted by newark) and its laughable 256mb shared RAM. also, xmbc is still very beta.
i think im going to wait this one out. i was initially very excited, but its just too underpowered right now. i shouldve known better as the real conecption behind it was a developer board, nothing more nothing less. i really just wanted xmbc to run smoothly on it.
