The card goes the other way, it doesn't go on top of the board. Well, at 
least there are risers going away from the board, I don't know if there 
are any going on top of it.

I did some tests on it, not many. Without going higher than 2.0 load 
average I managed to do 10 calls per second, lasting 5 seconds each. 
During those 5 seconds, 2 sound files were played (sln). MySQL CDR was 
enabled, so that's also 10 DB writes/second.

I don't know exactly what board it was, but the processor was a Atom 
<=2,2GHz. It had fan.

Two cards were used at the same time, one B400P and one A800, both Openvox.
