Dell 2950 doesn't come with Intel network chip. It comes with Broadcom extreme and module is BNX2.
We are using these servers and using Gentoo linux. We are experiencing issues when there are 30+ calls enabled for call recording and we assume this is due to new SAS controller. If you not planning to use the servers for call recording then you should be ok.

But while searching for documentation about it and/or reported issues, I found this: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+hardware WARNING - many Dell motherboards use the e1000 gigabit ethernet chipset, which has been known to cause random locksup - if you plan on using a Dell server, disable the onboard controller and purchase an addon ethernet card. Does anyone has real experience ?
