[Asterisk-Users] new production server for SOHO installation
I've just ordered up a new PC for my home office. I've decided upon a VIA 500 MHz platform in a fanless/silent case with one PCI slot for my TDM400 card. Instead of a HD I'm using an IDE <> CF convertor and AstLinux. To the user community I pose a question about throughput expectation on such a platform. If I someday decide to use G.729a where I now use G.711 to make outgoing calls through ITSPs what sort of limit can I expect? How many calls before I run out of CPU power? Also, does the onboard crypto engine (known as Padlock) in newer VIA chips have any potential to impact Asterisk? My understanding is that it allows the slower VIA chips to seriously speed up AES encryption.
