The quad core CPU is lower in MHZ and all the CPUs share the same IO. The architecture design of the XEON board is wrong for really IO intensive apps, consider stepping up to a AMD arch. Also the 2950 is a 2U server that use IRQ sharing (WHY?), wrong with boards like the T1 Digium.. Bye. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Dears Any one knows a standalone voip transcoder software name,not an ip pbx. What I want is to transcode the incoming sip calls from g711 to g723 or ilbc or g729 ..... and forward it to a media gateway ..
