[asterisk-users] Anyone using an Intel Atom ?

[Jared Geiger]

I am using a PBX in my house built on the Intel Atom 330 dual core.

Here is a review of it.

The only problem I had was the network card driver built into CentOS 5.2
didn't recognize the correct model of the card. After I downloaded the
correct driver from Realtec, it worked fine. I think the new Centos kernel
has the newer driver built in.
