I want to support AMD so there's at least some token competition for Intel. Both companies make nice 6-core processors with a lot of cache.

Mostly I was wondering if there are any reasons I cannot 1) Use and AMD board and 2) Run a mixed Intel/AMD enviroment Thanks, Lyle J.

McKarns All our Asterisk boxes are AMD. If AMD were to disappear, Intel would not have their feet to the competitive fire. Unless you are running a call center with thousands of extensions, etc., most new hardware is over-powered. The lowest cost, AMD dual-core should suffice, 2 Gig ram, 500 Gig hard drive. >------------------------------------------- >Networking/Linux Engineering Team >n|m Nexus Management >4 Industrial Parkway >Suite 101 >Brunswick, Maine 04011 >? >Tel (USA)???: 1 207 319 1105 >Tel (UK)????? : 0207 100 4968 >Fax????????????: 1 207 725 8552 >Nexus Management, Inc.?
