The VIA C7 is a little x86 type CPU sorta intended to compete with the Intel Nano I think except it has some special builtin crypto features including SHA256 instructions.

So I hacked up Satoshi's code and got it to do the mining using the buil;tin instructions. It went from 293 Khash/s to 1590 Khash/s.

This on a motherboard with the cpu included costing $65 (you can prolly find it for less too). It should be real good on power consumption too.
