Why the heck do you need a dual-proc box for a single T1? Going to be do massive transcoding? > I've had good luck with Tyan boards in the past for smp configurations > with AMD Opteron processors.

I'll be running Asterisk soon on a dual opteron system I just picked up, under Xen.. haven't decided if I'm going to go x86_64 or just stick with 32-bit yet, though. It's a dual-opteron 242 on a Tyan S2882 motherboard. If you're interested, I can let you know how it goes.. of course, this is just for home, and doesn't do simultaneous channels very often, so it likely won't compare to what you need. :) > I'm appealing to the super hardware heads on this list for suggestions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | nate carlson | natecars at natecarlson.com | http://www.natecarlson.com | | depriving some poor village of its idiot since 1981 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------
