Hi All,
A little off-list but I am sure someone on the list will probably be able to help. I am looking to set up a PC104+ system for high performance frame grabbing (MPEG or M-JPEG Compression) and have been looking at various processor cards ranging from 233/300MHz Geode processors to Transmeta Crusoe type boards with speeds of 533/800MHz have any of you guys and gals used these sorts of boards and if so how have you found the performance, and secondly has anyone used linuxbios on these boards to help speed up the boot.
I'd build my own for the application, but for low volume off the shelf, look at a board like:

Up to 800 MHz Via Eden CPU + Savage4 Video for MPEG playback. 800MHz may be fast enough for XviD or MPEG encoding at your target resolution.
