[asterisk-users] Intel Atom based Asterisk server?

I currently have some Asterisk home servers on general pc hardware as well 
as a mission critical server asterisk pbx running on a Dell 2850

To reduce noise and power consumption i would like to migrate them all to 
an Intel Atom based solution, showstoppers so far were single NIC and 
single PCI slot motherboards. I found that Supermicro makes a Dual NIC 
board with one PCI slot and 2 PCI-Express slots (X7SLA-L)

Has anyone tried running Asterisk + CentOS 5 on this (or any other) 
Atom board? Is the Atom platform able to handle the load of all the 
interrupts a TE110P or TDM400P card will generate ?

I am aware about other solutions but i do use the servers for some other 
tasks therefore don't want to move to a dedicated pbx box based on Soekris 
or the likes.

Thanks for any input!
