Hello all!

I'm considering buying an ODROID-U3.  Its got 1.7GHz quad-core CPU, quad-core
GPU, and 2GB or ram.  I'd be planning on using it for a generic desktop pc. 
I'd be running it with ubuntu, but I also have the option of running ANDROID
OS on it.

First off, has anybody had any experience with this device?  I have a
raspbery pi model B, running debian, but its pretty slow.

I also have a desktop PC, an Acer with an Intel Atom 1.60GHz single-core,
with 4GB of RAM, runing debian jessie.  As a desktop PC, it can get very
sluggish when watching any youtube videos, or even when running dosbox.

So, my hope is that the ODROID running quad-core cpu and quad-core gpu would
somehow offer an increase in performance.

One of the main reasons I'm looking at this unit is because it is a tiny
form-factor, and will run quietly.  It will be in the closet in my bedroom
and I don't want it to be too loud.  Oh, and it's cheap.  I can get it with
accessories for less than $100 shipped.
