May I suggest a sheevaplug: http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-46-sheevaplug-dev-kit.aspx ?
I use one of this, and have a 1Gb ethernet, 512ram, and a decent cpu.
The cpu is not fast as modern cpu, it is like 30% slower of an Cortex A8 at the same clock, and no fpu. But with a 1.2Ghz clock is not much slower than beaglebone. You don't need a stock kernel, vanilla kernel work just fine (I've compiled kernel 3.6 and I had no problem at all). So it has a very good support.
I'm using one, since 3 years ago and it works fine (except for the power supply that died one year ago, it's a well known issue, I hope they fixed it in recent model).
This is my 2c advice.
Regards,
Diego.
