We use Via EPIA Mini-ITX boards extensively and have had NO problems, with interrupts or otherwise. I can't vouch for or defend any of the Pentium mainboards you reference, but the single board machines we use run Asterisk very reliably. We don't load them up with a bunch of peripherals or exotic graphics cards, but I don't know why anyone ever would. It is true that they will not run gcc i686 binaries reliably.
