>perfomance vs power usage,
"Sam440 idle = 21 Watts"
"Shuttle PC idle = 86 Watts (yes, 4 times the Sam's value)"
PersonalComputers usually are "idle" 99% of their running time, waiting for something to be done, like reaction to key press / mouse movement.
The Shuttle PC uses 86W to wait for you to move the mouse.
Every computer wait at the same speed.

But with AOS handling the UI, it is possible that the user waits less.
>your pc is far ahead
Still the x86 is slower (unless AROS is used).

"Shuttle PC *switched off* = 12 Watts!! (yes, 1/2 of the Sam's *on* value!)"
I've got similar results. It's amazing!
