Thanks to Elmob, who send me this great little toy.
I have yet another MPD box.
It is a Freeagent DockStar. (Basically the same hardware as a Sheevaplug)
1.2Ghz ARM
128mb ram
Gigabit ethernet (I saw it peak over 200mbit/sec, so not bad)
4 usb 2.0 ports.
No it is not the biggest speed monster, but perfect for mpd.
Owh and an image:

I can see the only TSSOP28 on your photo – is it RAM? Is it possible to replace it with a larger capacity chip?
No idea, but I doubt it is wise. You are better of buying a pandaboard or a beagleboard XM then.
The kirkwood is underpowered and the memory bus is very limited (speed wise)
