Raspberry PI resources
...Additionally, there seems to be a limit of 49 BEs that one Pi can control at once.

Any idea what this limit is caused by? If possible I'd like to have one unit controlling everything and if the limit is due to processing power I could opt for a cubieboard 2 or another open aio.

I've noticed my utility rate is significantly higher when I run my BEs off one of my WIN7 rigs that is mining LTC at the moment.. I think the RPi is a cool piece of gear, but no matter what I tweak on it, doesn't seem to be "even" or better than my W7 setup. (45 BEs at the moment awaiting a couple more hubs)

The thing to remember with the Pi is the low power consumption. If mutiple Pi's use less power than one PC, that may be the way to go.

Oh, concur.. and will perhaps look into it further in the future... but at this time I can piggy back off an already up and running LTC rig and draw no additional power since the hubs are powered..

Not only that, but the space requirements are far less. For someone who isn't mining LTC these tiny all in one boards are the way to go. If I find anything out about the limits I'll definitely post it here, I may pickup a cubieboard2 and test it.

Also I wasn't referring to it being any better than a desktop. I was referring to how weak the soc of the pi is, wondering if that is the cause of the limit.
