asterisk users - Aug 2005 - Does intel 865 board works fine with Asterisk

Hi:

I would like to know what are the issues I need to
look for in a chipset board so I can make sure it
works fine with digium cards and Asterisk . Is intel
board 865 fits the description?

Regards;

I have one Asterisk system working with a Junghanns BRI card and another 
working with a Digium TDM card with an Intel D865 motherboard.

Well - I built two systems with Intel Desktop board with 865 chipset.  
They have 3.0GHz HT processor.

I fitted the systems each with a TE405P (gen 1) and two TDM400P boards 
with FXO/FXS.  I looped all the ports and loaded it up to capacity (128 
concurrent calls).  It runs solidly.

The boxes have 1GB ram, and two traditional IDE disks in mirrored setup.

Be aware that the Intel 865 chipset come in four different versions. The
865G, 865P, 865PE and 865GV.

I have used the 865G, 865PE and 865GV chipset. The 865PE chipset boards
(specifically Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000-PROG) work very well. The 865G boards
(specifically Asus P4P800-VM) worked well using a single and quad T1 board,
but had problems with X100P (digium and clone) cards (PCI MASTER ABORT
errors). The 865GV board (specifically Asus P$P800-MX) was unusable, as it
had the same problem with the FXO cards and would lock when the T1 board
drivers were loaded (this may just have been a bad batch of motherboards
though). I never tried any boards with the 865P chipsets.

Currently, All my asterisk servers are using either the Gigabyte motherboard
or a much more expensive Intel E7501 based system. The 865PE is a good solid
chipset. The only time I have problems is when the datacenter has a power
failure.

regards,
Derek
