I love the Via C7 "Eden" processor, but unless you have one around to 
test, I wouldn't buy one for this application without doing a lot of 
testing.

Why?  Floating Point performance is lousy, and I think that'll show with 
fldigi and other digital mode software.

Look to the Intel Atom CPUs for good floating point and a low-power 
processor.

I use the C7 in routers and servers that don't do anything beyond 
integer math.  They're incredibly good.
