Hey Richard!

 RM> Which part??

The 64 bit capable part.  The faster part seems obvious (1.2GHz is faster than
900MHz).

 RM> But I agree that a 64 bit OS is not on the top of the things we
 RM> need.

Understood but then why bother with a 64 bit cpu?  It seems like a waste to me.

 RM> Convinced about what?

Convinced that I should buy one, either raspi2 or raspi3, although out of the
two raspi3 looks to be the better deal.

 RM> The chip used in the odroid C2 is capped at 1.5GHz.

I thought the 2GHz was quite the jump.

Excellent!  Thanks for pointing it out.  The last specs I saw were still
claiming 2GHz.

 RH> armbian is coming up

That doesn't surprise me.

Life is good,
Maurice
