There is a discussion on the sourceforge AAH forum about starting some sort of hardware certification project. It seems that these sorts of hardware questions come up a lot and I think there is a need for something more organized than "This is what I am using and it seems to work ok" sort of information.
Anyone know how something like this can be done? Maybe a list of tests people can do and check off then post their results to a database that matches up hardware? Sorry for hijacking your post Domjan. My 2 cents would be to stay away from very old and very new hardware. Focus more on the chipset and onboard peripherals rather than who's name is on the motherboard. I would consider Nforce4 very new. I am not sure about the AMD server chipsets. As much as I love AMD on the desktop, there is no denying that Intel server chipsets are much more tested in Linux and Asterisk environments. The heat issues tend to be better handled in Xeon environments as well. -----Original Message----- From: Remco Barende [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 09, 2005 2:40 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Motherboard and processor recommendations On Fri, 9 Sep 2005, Domjan Attila wrote: > Hi, > I sucked the TE410 in a Siemens dual Xeon machine... lot of irq > problems, digium support said: try the card in another machine. > A cheap amd64 + via K8T800 and TE405 works perfectly... I'm looking for a good, reliable and upgradeable solution too. I don't care to spend a lot of money if the hardware is reusable. A Dell 2850 is useless after 3 years, no way to upgrade it. A quality Intel SC5300 for example is not cheap at all but will last you a lifetime. But now the difficult task, to find the right mobo. I prefer to go with an AMD CPU because it is not as power hungry as Intel which only improves runtime on ups power. In the category professional mobo's I like the HDAMA from Rioworks which features an AMD 8111 [HyperTransport I/O Hub] and AMD 8131. [PCI-X Tunnel]. Has anyone ever tried Digium hardware on this chipset or even mobo? Alternatively I'm considering a regular mobo with an nForce3 or nForce4 chipset. Will these work with Digium hardware? (Looking at the repsonses most people seem to use Intel stuff?) Recommendations for quality barebones also welcome :) _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
