[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Hardware Platform - Intel x86 versus Intel RISC Xscale (ARM)

[Miroslav Nachev]

   Hi,

   I would like to take your advice about which hardware paltform is
better for Asterisk - x86 or RISC ?
   I have the following offers:
   - Mobile Celeron 733MHz     $380
   - Xscale 667MHz             $330
   x86 cost is higher than RISC-solution, but the performance is
better.

   The technical specification for both CPU is the same:
   External FLASH:    1 x MMC/SD
   VGA/LCD:           1 x VGA/LCD
   Audio:             AC 97
   USB:               6 x USB 2.0
   Integrated FLASH:  128 MB
   Integrated RAM:    256 MB
   External RAM:      DIMM up to 1 GB
   Ethernet:          2 x 10/100
   SATA:              1 x Serial ATA
   Mini PCI:          1 x Mini PCI
   PCI:               1 x PCI for PCI Raiser Card with 3 x PCI Slots
   Power Supply:      Single 48 VDC Power Input (36V - 72V), Power
                      over Ethernet specification (IEEE 802.3af).
                      Jumper selectable to choose the source: power
                      connector (jack) or WAN port.  
   

   Best Regards,
