as i need to build a dev system which is pretty quiet and i like the little atom cpus too
Got an i5 system here, four cores, 2.80GHz, can be overclocked to 3.20GHz.
It's quite quick when compiling, as long as you utilize the four cores.
When I was compiling the custom kernel for host mode it took about 10 minutes, but I recompiled the kernel today with -j 4 (uses 4 cores) and it finished in less than 2 minutes! (after a make clean and make distclean of course).
