  ...then sell me the 4/600 board. ;)  I've got several SS10 and SS20 machines
running side-by-side with the 4/600 systems.  The 4/600 machines consistently
outrun both the 10s and 20s (with similar cpu/ram configs) for real-world
applications.

  Yes, the 10 burns less power...but in my opinion the 4/600 is a better
machine.  If the power is an issue for you, well, YMMV. :-)
