Hi All,
For sometime now I've been searching the wiki and googling, but I think I'm
missing some of the very important answers. So I'll have to ask this to the
list.
I'm trying to decide on the right motherboard and processor. Here are my
questions:
1. Would I have problems with all-onboard motherboards (Onboard VGA,
LAN/GLAN, Sound, SATA, RAID) ? I've read the comment about an Onboard VGA on
wiki.
2. Which chipset should I prefer: Intel, SiS or VIA? I've read the old SiS
chipset problem on wiki.
3. Which processor has the least support problems: P4 (478 or LGA775, or
even EMT64) or AMD64 ? For example, in G729 config file Athlon comment reads
as "untested" (so far I don't have problems), and there is no config option
for AMD64 at all. There is no mention of EMT64 either. Is anything processor
dependant in codecs/transcoding, echo cancellation, busy detect and similar
software, i.e. in dsp routines in general ?
4. How important is the number of PCI slots? I mean, considering that I've
read some comments on this list, which do not recommend more than 2 TDM
cards on a single system (right?), 2-3 PCI slots should be enough, is this
correct? (But beware this also means an all-onboard motherboard, in most
cases.)
I think this is a very complicated issue, and given so many variables
perhaps luck plays an important part.
I'd like to hear your experiences. Any links I wasn't able find are welcome
too.
Thanks,
Soner
