I've not had much chance to do any kind of benchmarking but the Zotac system
certainly "feels" quite a bit faster than my Revo 1600 (both are running
MythBuntu), although I have used a solid state drive with the Zotac board.

I'm sorry I don't have much of  a clue about the GBP/USD rate at the moment,
but the Zotac IONITX-F-E motherboard cost me £127, then I added 2 x 1GB of
PC2-6400 RAM (around £30) and the SSD drive (£50). My Acer Revo cost me £199
a little while ago but that included the Bluetooth keyboard, mouse etc.

Hope that's of interest :)
George
