Fruity Option
 

Will Clod run on this?:cool:

I doubt it, but I bet it could be used for other cool things. Perhaps as a peripheral controller, a TS server, maybe touch buddy or something similar could run on it? I'd love to see some specs on it.

at that price..it's worth it for the play value!:grin:

There's a lot of limitation in the specs, theres going to be more headaches than worth it for time effort against results...........but for the cost ............ :grin:

surreal like when they said in the radio they had discover wireless electricity

At that price, I've got to have one, just to play around with. I used to write ARM assembly language programs back in the days of the Acorn Archimedes. Now do I install it inside my PC case (it would fit comfortably into a spare 5.25" bay, and I could have the connections come out the front), or do I find something else to put it in?

it seems to come with a default case

profits go to charity ill have two

seems its time to demand for our money

im buying expensive hardawre no more

They aren't supplying a case at the moment, and I'm not sure that the 'charity' bit is right either.

As for not buying any more expensive hardware, I don't think it is going to be powerful enough for more than basic web browsing and the like - it isn't supposed to be a replacement for PCs.

If you guys are really interested in this I have a C64 I can sell you...

Plus it comes in a case...

aparently it run quake and can play high def movies

now is do my hardware satisfy the game

in the future will be the opposite

El Raspberry Pi es un ordenador del tamaño de una tarjeta de crédito que se enchufa a una TV y a un teclado. Es un PC en miniatura con procesador ARM que se puede usar como cualquier otro PC de escritorio, se pueden ejecutar hojas de cálculo, documentos de Word, o cualquier tipo de juegos. Y además puede reproducir video en alta definición.

the raspberry pi is a computer of a credit card size which is pluged to a tv and a keyboard, its a miniature pc with arm processor that can be used as nay other desktop pc...
