Yes, but then what are you doing with it? You're shuttling the new data to/from a network card in a lot of cases. Combined with other traffic over the PCI bus for normal system operation I could see you coming close to the limitations of regular ole PCI. > second of traffic.

True enough, but you still need to marshall the data going between PCI busses and to system memory. Certainly not impossible problems to overcome but they do add to the fun of getting a low latency VOIP system together. -A. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
