I started on a 500Mhz VIA chip with TDM400 card and that coped (still does) very well with the call load of 12 people and 3 analogue lines... So anything bigger is not going to have any issues. I also have several other Atom based servers - Asterisk and otherwise. Beware the cheap (fast!) little fans on them though - every single one has failled on me so-far. (And this includes ones in clean air AC server room environments) Gordon -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
