OK... maybe I got a little anxious and ran out and bought a Tyan GX28 with dual Opteron (dual core) processors. (It is a nice server ;) ) I did neglect to find out that you can not manually set the IRQ's on this motherboard. I am now stuck sharing an IRQ with the ethernet controller and no foreseeable end to my dilemma. I have a Digium TE210P and zttest consistently runs at 99.97% which as you guessed, is giving rather unpleasing sound quality. My options as I see it are: 1. Buy a new server 2. Buy a sangoma A102U I am looking for practical suggestions from those of you out there who have had a similar experience that may aid me in making this decision. Thank you, Sean

Does the sangoma handle sharing interrupts in some other way?

Sangoma cards generally play very nice in that environment while some of the Digium cards do not like shared interrupts at all.
How does I/O APIC fit into this IRQ management?
