why would you even bother

the raspberry pi is often used for emulation arcade cabinets such as this one

[espio100]

Can you cluster those?

I have the model B so it's really slow. Never did anything with it.

The only thing I dislike from the Pi is the ARM processor. Programs compatible with x86 aren't compatible with ARM.

Other than that, it's a good microcomputer.

You'd be paying a lot more if you wanted an x86 processor, plus you'd need a beefer power supply.
ARM is so good because it costs less to manufacture, and also consumes much less power (on average) than a x86 chip.
(ARM's ISA is also SO MUCH better than x86's ISA)

I don't have a Raspberry Pi, but I did get a Banana Pi R1. Still setting it up as a router because networking is hard.
