Question 1:

I see in the block diagram that this device has an AR9390 Chipset.

Does this mean that it is capable of beamforming? I see that Qualcomm claims this chip is capable of it?


Question 2:

Is there a cheaper way than an RB800 to field the AR9380/9390 Pci-e cards? I have seen someone talk about an ITIX Atom Motherboard but from what I see once you get the Routeros license/Ram/Storage it costs just as much as an RB800 (though with admittedly beefed up memory/processing power.
