asterisk users - Sep 2005 - HW Question (TDM400)

Hi, all

Did anyone tried TDM400 card on old main board (Intel 440LX chipset -- PII)? The
reason I am asking is because TDM400 needs PCI2.2 and main board is PCI2.1

I do not want to upgrade yet.

Thanks,
Rudolf

Since Digium is so clear about using a mainboard with PCI 2.2 I think
you already know that bad/weird/unexpected/unexplainable things can
happen when using the card in a PCI 2.1 board. Basically YMMV. If it
works for you the better, if not you know why. I use an old Asus P2B-LS
(PCI 2.1) board with a PII-400 and an Eicon Diva Server card as an
Asterisk server and it works fine.

Thanks,

I do realise that I will have to upgrade, just did not want to do it so 
soon.
Digium says that it "is not recommended to use main mainboard with PCI less
than 2.2". They did not say it will not work. I just wanted to find out if 
anyone had any experience with this particular chipset. So I will know if I 
have to go and get new hardware.

I will try TDM400 in my machine on weekend.
