Read the original post too fast. The 850 has only one useable slot. The 830 appears to have a couple.

The 830s are nice but limited because they do RAID on a card and have but one suitable PCI slot. So you can have an interface card or RAID, but not both. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kerry Garrison Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 3:42 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] What is the best Dell Machine for Asterisk? I am looking at the 830 systems now. I have heard good reports from other users and the price point for a loaded system is still dirt cheap. Any comments on this particular model? -Kerry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kristian Kielhofner Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 3:27 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] What is the best Dell Machine for Asterisk?

However, most kernels (at least from RedHat, probably others) do not enable APIC on single processor machines. If this is the case, try rebuilding the kernel to support APIC on uniprocessor machines. This should resolve any IRQ sharing problems. -- Kristian Kielhofner _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
