I note that the SC420 is listed as incompatible but the SC430 appears to be a slightly different beast in terms of chipset, the 430 has the newer E7230 as opposed to the E7221 - does this make a difference to compatibility?
I have an SC420 in one office that works quite well. I think the confusion comes because you can't use the bios to change what interrupts are used by the various integrated components on the server. The result is that if you use the first PCI slot, the Digium card WILL share an interrupt with the integrated network interface, and you're liable to get missed interrupts and choppy sound under heavy network traffic. You can easily get around this by using a different PCI slot. I have perfect sound with the SC420 (although I've never heavily taxed this machine). - Noah On 9/9/06, Gunnar Schaller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello Matthew, It depends on the chipset on the mainboard. I had problems with a SC1420, the only way to solve it was to get a new server (without Intel chipset). So don't try a chipset which is listed on the Digium compatibility site.
