Chris - Actually, he's talking the chipsets that run Intel chips of all
stripes versus the chipsets that run ADM kit.
Intel-[approved,compatible] chipsets are almost uniformly higher quality
than the stuff that runs AMD kit... supports things like APIC, where
I've run into very new dual-opteron-class kit (K87-DL) that doesn't
support apic -or- smartd without gnarly bios upgrades and stupid linux
tricks.

Yup. Intel chip. I know people will say I'm trolling, but I wouldn't use an
AMD for an Asterisk box. Workstation, yes. I run one myself, they work fine.
Note I said Chip not Chipset. I've had good luck with older Intel chipsets
but from what I understand some other guys have had problems with the new
Intel chipsets. I totally trust Asus though. What I would do were I you is
Asus with no onboard stuff as much as possible with a P4 chip.
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, 64
FX, X2, Opteron?
