Perhaps swap'em around Baz. My observatory system was a 2GB intel Atom set up which was hardly a power house. It didn't need to do much other than run the hardware (mount, camera, focusing etc) and acquire images.
The processing system needs the grunt and memory. Recently, I bought a dedicated solid state drive and set it up as a scratch disk in photoshop. Wow, major performance improvement. I think the next system I build for processing will be all solid state with exception to a large disk for archiving/storage as opposed running apps from.
