   * The most crucial decision is your choice of RAM. If you are going to run ''[[docs:guide-user:services:voip:asterisk|asterisk]]'', ''[[docs:guide-user:services:voip:umurmur|mumble]]'', ''[[docs:guide-user:services:dc:direct.connect|Direct Connect]]'', ''[[docs:guide-user:services:downloading_and_filesharing:bittorrent]]'', a [[docs:guide-user:services:webserver:start|web server]] and other stuff, enough RAM will make them run smoothly. Some of them tolerate SWAP pretty good, others do not. FYI: If you are considering adding more RAM, keep in mind that there are no DDR1-Modules bigger than 64MB. Also, the SoC sometimes only support so much. For example, the Marvell Kirkwood, supports a maximum of 512MB.   * The most crucial decision is your choice of RAM.

-  * Occasionally the computing power of the CPU proves to be a bottleneck. To compare you should have a look at the [[docs:techref:hardware:cpu|CPU]] included on with [[docs:techref:hardware:soc|SoC]]. Do not compare raw MHz, e.g. a MIPS 34KE@300MHz is in most scenarios faster then a MIPS 24K@400MHz. +  * Occasionally the computing power of the CPU proves to be a bottleneck.
