Just a comment here. I built an * pbx on a Celeron 1.4ghz machine. Got all the dialplan and such working , then built a new server with an AMD 2.4g processor with a 500mhz front side buss. With the same Digium TDM cards and all analog incoming and outgoing.
The celeron was not ringing out until the third incoming ring. The new server starts ringing inside just before the second ring hits the incoming analog port. Same version of * and same version of Suse Linux, better processer, better buss speed, and now a serial ata hard drive. So the speed of the server does also have some effect.
