Here's a question for everybody... is this fast enough to run an MP3
player if the system was stripped down and dedicated to the task?

If not, does anybody know what a minimum might be?

(I keep thinking I should be able to find *something* for a box like this
to do, but I can't.  I hate to see cheap but working hardware go by just
because I couldn't think of something to use it for.)
