Pentium and low power can hardly be used in the same sentence.

If someone wants to design a piggyback 32 bit machine for the handy
board, I will suggest the 68360. It is really powerful, and has all
the glue logic in it for several megs of DRAM (cheap), and lots of
serial IO, including (the glue logic remember) ethernet.
The GCC compiler works with it, and I have head the BDM (background
debug mode) is now working with GDB. Sounds like the ideal
environment for vision, and other serious sensor IO for a robot.
