    Somewhat heftier than an Atom, the specs are:
    400MHz 32-bit Intel® Pentium w/16 KB L1 cache
    512 KB on-die embedded SRAM
    Single thread, single core, constant speed
    ACPI compatible CPU sleep states supported
    Integrated Real Time Clock (RTC), with an optional 3V “coin cell” battery for operation while powered off.
    10/100 Ethernet connector
    Full PCI Express* mini-card slot, with PCIe 2.0 compliant features
    Works with half mini-PCIe cards with optional converter plate

    10-pin Standard JTAG header for debugging
    Reboot button to reboot the processor
    Reset button to reset the sketch and any attached shields
    Storage options:
    Default - 8 MByte Legacy SPI Flash main purpose is to store the firmware (or bootloader) and the latest sketch. Between 256KByte and 512KByte is dedicated for sketch storage. The download will happen automatically from the development PC, so no action is required unless there is an upgrade that is being added to the firmware.
    Default 512 KByte embedded SRAM, enabled by the firmware by default. No action required to use this feature.
    Default 256 MByte DRAM, enabled by the firmware by default.
