Hi Maurice!

    RM>> Which part??   
    MK> The 64 bit capable part.   
    MK> The faster part seems obvious (1.2GHz is faster than 900MHz).   
      
   The ARMv8 part is also obvious.   
      
   See the specs or wikipedia:   
   The new BCM2837 based on 64-bit ARMv8 architecture is backwards compatible   
   with the Raspberry Pi 2 as well as the original.   
      
    RM>> But I agree that a 64 bit OS is not on the top of the things we   
    RM>> need.   
    MK> Understood but then why bother with a 64 bit cpu?   
    MK> It seems like a waste to me.   
      
   Why not?   
   It is a nice addition, and you are not forced to use it.   
   If you do not like it, stay with 32 bit.   
      
    RM>> The chip used in the odroid C2 is capped at 1.5GHz.   
    MK> I thought the 2GHz was quite the jump.   
    RM>> http://www.hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php   
    MK> Excellent!  Thanks for pointing it out.   
    MK> The last specs I saw were still claiming 2GHz.   
      
   Bacuse that is what Amlogix advertised ...   
      
   Here is a story about it:

    RH>> armbian is coming up   
    MK> That doesn't surprise me.   
      
   It was a pleasant surpise to me.   
      
   Will try it out on my Orange Pi PC when I have some time:
