[Asterisk-Users] Mini-PC box to run server

[Jon Pounder]

well on a related note, I had all sorts of quality issues with asterisk on 
a Cyrix C3-600 cpu that all went away when I switched to a higher speed 
celeron.

on the c3, things like file transfers while on the phone could "heard" in 
the background as a difference in background noise, dtmf detection was very 
poor, changing things like bios optimizations made a noticeable impact, so 
I think it was right on the edge of not being powerful enough.

While this is not an itx, I think the whole situation is similar though in 
terms of a stripped down mobo running lower power stuff
