Hi all, I took my decision to use Asterisk server for handling my VOIP calls...My next step is to choose the best hardware that I should use i order to have the best performance...Here I faced 2 choices for my hardware (CPU)... 1- Using Intel CPU or AMD 2- Use 32 or 64 bits Can you help me please to choose between the above choices and what is the advantage and disadvantage of each of choices regards -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How much transcoding? A 1GHz Via processor with 128KB cache will handle 100 concurrent calls with no transcoding. Anything above that is a bonus, and 64-bit is a waste for something like asterisk IMO. So use what you're most familiar with. Gordon

If they go under, Intel will just slack off. Keep it simple: 32 bits. If you want to keep it *very* simple: http://PBXinaFlash.net/
