Should I get the dual core Acer Revo?

[Methanoid]

They are pretty good (have 2) but the attachment mechanism to VESA mount is pretty crap IMHO. I preferred the Asus Eeebox method.

Prices vary hugely. Some UK place have Linux ones (single core) at £130 and duals more.. but I guess it takes some looking.

I was selling mine but there seemed no point when everyone thinks that £150 is the new price for a dual core....

Well after seriously no help from anyone on multiple forums to see if the single core revo is capable of playing back via sopcast I decided not to take the gamble and went for the dual core model (R3610).

Am looking forward to receiving it, after the mistake of buying a popcorn hour A-100. Worst purchase mistake I've ever made the thing was so hit and miss with what it could play.

Looking forward to coming home again with XBMC from my old xbox experience days with it.

I play x264 1080p on my acer revo r3600 that i paid £139 for and it playes them perfectly.
