I've never heard about IO-APIC before, so I just did a Google
search.
The articles I found say that it's an Intel thing, and, since I
have an
AMD processor w/ ASUS motherboard, it's unlikely it'll work, right?
Not Intel thing. Chipset thing:
This smells of the You never get fired for buying IBM (replace

What good does RAID give you on writes? None whatsoever. RAID only helps
performance on reading. Fault tolerance

Interesting. What version are you running? I may try to update to the
latest.

The Digium cards actually are sharing IRQs with other devices -- the
installer mentioned it could be an issue initially, but when he saw that
the devices that the cards were sharing with were the network card and
the video card, he said to just try and see if it works first. Sounds

Yup. Intel chip. I know people will say I'm trolling, but I wouldn't use an

Make sure the Sipura's are at a current firmware revision too. They have
made quite a few improvements with each revision. And get the asterisk

parallel ports, USB, etc. to get some additional interrupts back.

Colin,
Would you possibly explain why you prefer Intel based systems over the
AMD based system for Asterisk?
When you speak of Intel here are you talking about Celerons, Pentium
3, Pentium 4, Xeon, Pentium D?
When you speak of AMD are you talking XP, MP, Duron, Sempron, 64,
