I don't know what I am doing yet because I don't know the keys, I will have to play around with this. I have it running on a 200Mhz Geode MediaGX board. The audio is part of the MediaGX companion chip. The board has PC/104, so I have a dual PCMCIA module plugged in (wireless and modems). It has 128MB RAM and a laptop hard drive. I may be having buffer or speed problems, because some of it sounded pretty choppy. Then again like I said I don't know what I am doing yet in control of speakup. Do you think that 200Mhz is enough for festival? I need to read the docs for festival in more detail, maybe I need to tweak things. I will try it out a bit more. It's bigger than a PDA, but then it has full x86 and MMX compatibility and lots of storage plus the dual pcmcia, compact flash socket, VGA and TV (NTSC) output, 16-bit stereo audio, dual USB, and dual serial, and parallel port. This is an old board that I have used for a long time, I'm going to work on another one that will be 667Mhz 512k RAM, 20GB HDD, etc. They run off 5V and I use a DC/DC converter to run off li-ion batteries or AC/DC adapter. -- Doug
