CPU speed doesn't concern me, as memory access/front-side bus tends to be the bottleneck in the applications I'm interested in. But non-EEC is a problem. Intel intentionally crippled Atom to not cannibalize its server business. I think a similar platform but with Arm Cortex-A15 would be even more interesting.

RAM is the new disk.

And the new disk is RAM. Whoa, you just baked my brain.
