	I believe a 1GHz BeagleBoard-xM could run at least one URI. The hardest 
part is gaining access to the onboard DSP. I think that even without DSP, the 
BeagleBoard-xM (also has 512 MB RAM, 4 USB 2.0 Host, USB OTG, etc) will be 
able to run an AllStar node just fine. My current node PC isn't all that 
powerful (1.7 GHz, Intel Celeron, 512 MB RAM) and it manages nicely. Check out 
http://beagleboard.org for more info on the BeagleBoard.
