Re: [Asterisk-Users] Performance: Xeon or Opteron?
I'd have to guess that combination of cards with almost any mobo would be considered an overloaded system. If you replaced the two TDM04b cards with an A200D or TDM2400 card, most of those irqmisses (etc) would probably go away; but that's a somewhat educated guess on my part. Factually, the sangoma cards integrate with the pci bus in a much more stable/usable way then does the digium TDM card (and I believe the te110 if it uses the TigerJet pci chip).

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Performance: Xeon or Opteron?
Yep, there is a lot of chatter about how hardware x performs with Asterisk and while I/O is the primary mover, most designs today will handle the modest Asterisk install easily. I've got a site where they use 6 lines and 15 users on a 500Mhz CPU w/512MB RAM and boot off a 2GB flash disk. VERY modest and absolutely dominates that particular install. Only in the larger installs will hardware be an issue, but even then it doesn't take much hardware (from a server perspective) to handle a LOT of Asterisk traffic.

[Asterisk-Users] Performance: Xeon or Opteron?
I was offered an upgrade path for my two Dell 1750's (2.8 Dual Xeon) to get into a pair of new Dual Core Dual Opteron servers. Assuming I can get the IRQ BS worked out so my TE411XP doesn't flip out, this should be a pretty significant upgrade. Has anyone been able to quantify any benefits to using one processor over the other? Should I wait for the newer Intel processors this summer or go for the AMD DC DO?
