Going ARM (in a box)

ARM, that exciting architecture, is ever more available for home development.  At first, I was intrigued by the low price points of a Raspberry Pi.  And I have one, yet I felt the difficulties of three things: the ARMv6 ISA, the single core, and 512MB of RAM.  For my purposes, NVIDIA's development board served far better.  At present, that board is no longer available on Amazon; however, I have heard rumors of a 64-bit design being released soon.

With the release of the Raspberry Pi 2, many of my concerns have been allayed.  I am also intrigued by the possibility it offers of running Windows 10.
