[Asterisk-Dev] Onboard Video

[Alen Miketic]

Sorry about the list mix-up.  

I didn't care weather it was dedicated or shared, as long as it works.
I was testing * on an Asus board with shared memory and it kept freezing
up.  I understand there is an issue using * with a motherboard that uses
shared memory so I wrote to Asus to ask which of there boards use
dedicated memory.  There response was simple, none.  I wasn't convinced
since I had read that the Intel 865G chip allows you pre-allocate memory
to the video making it absolutely transparent to the OS.  Someone later
in the list suggested an Asus P4P800-MX (865GV chipset), this confirms
my thoughts on the 865G (same memory allocation for both).

This is not really a -dev question, it's a -users question.

In any case, nearly everyone running Asterisk on a 1U or a 2U server is 
using on-board video. Did you mean to say "chipset integrated video" 
(that shares the system RAM), as opposed to a dedicated video chip? Our 
Dell 1750 servers have on-board video, but it's an ATI Rage XL chip with

its own RAM.
