[Voyage-linux] alix as a DVR appliance

[Juha Lindfors]

Definition of HD is a bit vague but as a comparison Intel N270 (which has
more processing power) on B202 is not sufficient for 1080 quality but some
reports give it an ok for 720p.

Based on the perceived performance differences I've seen with Atom and Geode
boxes next to each other, I'd guess getting HD out of 500Mhz Geode will be a
tough task.
