A more powerful raspberry pi

[AC_Orange]

Hi guys,
I'm thinking about getting two of these for the sole purpose of showing scrolling text in chrome from a webpage
The raspberry pi's i'm using at the moment are just not powerful enough and the text is scrolling really slow

Any recommendations?

More powerful, but surely text scrolling should be fine on a Pi, what linux distro are you using? Might be faster to have it run xbmc distro and drop a video file on it hehe

Web browser performance on the pi is so slow because there is absolutely no HW acceleration implemented in X, and Chromium can't use it due to that. The foundation is working on Wayland + Weston + a DE for the Pi with full HW acceleration that is insanely faster (the Pi's GPU is as powerful as the Xbox's, but the CPU is much weaker : P3@733MHz vs P2@300MHz equivalent).

I need a web browser :/ the contents change daily. Openelec doesn't have a web browser plugin for Pi
Yeah I found it strange that it can play 1080p movies pretty well but chokes on text. Makes sense now that I hear it's all software

Thanks
