If this is what you are talking about, I have to tell you, C5 runs on these
better than I could ever get C4 or C3 to run. They have been rock solid
and I am using a flash card for the disk mounted noatime. The box is
one of those mini-itx things. C4 and C3 would randomly panic. Usually
within the first 24 hours.

If this is not what you are talking about, feel free to ignore me.
