The server is equipped with a 3.3v PCI-X slot. 
(https://h10057.www1.hp.com/ecomcat/hpcatalog/specs/provisioner/05/411095-421.htm).

It is an old server but it has worked just fine for the task of hosting 
Asterisk for some time and I prefer not to spend $2,000+ to replace both the 
server and the PCI card with more modern hardware. Admittedly, the TE410P is 
new to the equation in the last several months but only in the last few weeks 
has this really become a problem to the point of affecting use. In fact, I was 
on a call Thursday morning for about an hour that was entirely SIP but during 
that time the system started blocking and other users could no longer make 
calls - even though my call was unaffected.

The server is equipped with an AMD 8132 PCI-X bridge which apparently is known 
for being difficult in regards to interrupts. Google reveals that a few drivers 
have workarounds related to this chipset and to a range of revisions that mine 
happens to fall into.

I will build a live-cd based usb key later on today and test the hardware 
independent of its present OS.

Thank you.
