These are IDE drives that we're using now. I had a problem booting from SATA on this MB for some reason. Still the same VIA problem? We're inconsistently getting channel breakup for calls into the queue, especially when the extension number is announced. I was thinking that a disk access bottleneck might cause that. I could also increase the size of the packet buffers. What do you think? We're not large scale either and we're not live yet. I'm just doing some test calls into the queue.
