Do you disagree that a CPU is not an integrated circuit specialized in dealing with the application of computing? Honestly, you're arguing against people who are in the electronics design and telecommunications industries... I myself have been in electronics design for over a decade, and others here have similar telecommunications experience. "CPUs can't do EC well" is just a garbage CS-freshman statement. We've pointed out examples of where general CPUs are doing heavy DSP work and you sit there with your fingers in your ears, saying "la la la la la... can't hear you!" Honestly man, look around and try to see that there are others who know what they're talking about. general-purpose CPUs *can* do signal processing, and modern CPUs have elements which make them VERY DSP like... to the point where the bottleneck isn't (and hasn't for a while now) been the CPU processing capability; it's been in keeping it fed with data to keep it from stalling, and in keeping its FPU busy without stalling out its general processing abilities. -A. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
