have 14 sip phones and an average of 5 calls at a time. I was thinking about

<DIV></DIV>Also, SATA on a onboard SATA card will eat more CPU then a SCSI
system. Are you running software RAID by chance with your SATA? SCSI or SCSI
Raid will not each CPU near as much since the HBA does all the work and does
tie up the CPU with all its I/O's. We have successfulyl recorded 5+ calls at a
time via dual xeon 3.0 with 10K SCSI drives in RAID-5 with no issuses running
about 30 PRI channels and anywhere from 50-75 SIP channels, all with g729
encoding.<BR><BR>Hope this helps!<BR>Ron<BR><BR>

I tried it and indeed, it lowers cpu usage, so I switched from wav to<BR>gsm
