For what we do with Asterisk(lots of meetme and Zap - IAX2) It does spread the load across both cores. In our initial comparisons for equal call traffic, the P4-D had half or the average loadavg for a 6 hour time period of the P4 of the same speed. MATT--- Hi Matt! Thank you for

For the Asterisk installation, no. For Linux, yes. I built a custom SMP kernel, which depending on your Linux distribution may or may not be necessary for you. MATT--- On 9/26/06, Tomislav Parčina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: For what we do with Asterisk(lots of meetme and Zap - IAX2) It does

Asterisk is very happy on dual core. It greatly reduces load. We just put a Pentium-D in poduction last week and it is working verry well. We have a Core 2 Duo on order that we should be putting in production next week. MATT--- Hi Matt! Thank you for this information. Can you please
