[Asterisk-Users] Hardware

[Steve Underwood]

Stay away from boards with Intel chipsets. Those are problematic in my 
experience. The FX, LX, 820, 840 and various others have been extremely 
flaky, and caused no end of problems. :-)

VIA used to be bad, but seem to get steadily better. Intel are just 
erratic. I think most makers have made good and bad chipsets. Go with 
known good chips, not specific makers. The same goes with motherboards.
