I had a recent bad experience with Compaq with asterisk.  For some reason it could not be forced to put my PCI cards on anything other than IRQ 11.  This is a major problem because when all the cards (2 xnetwork,2x FXS) are active and generate interrupts it chops up the sound quality.

 

I was trying to convince the bios to split it up for 2 days but then I gave up.  Mind you, this is not a very powerful system at all so on a faster machine it might not be a problem (it could just handle the interrupts fast enough without making the sound choppy).  But I would think that no matter how fast the machine is it’s always better to have the IRQs split up and not shared.  I never tried on dell yet ….

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Kind of Computer to use

 

Hi,
I am building PBX's for clients. I was thinking of using Dell computers. I was told that they do not work well with asterisk. Any one have any suggestions ? Any other brands that work well with asterisk ? Also any specific hardware to or not to use ? Finally does that Mac Mini work well with asterisk ? Thanks a lot.

Dovid
