[Asterisk-Dev] Current *recommended* motherboards?

[mattf]

We use Asus P4 consumer motherboards almost exclusively(like the P5AD2) We
have 12 Asterisk servers and 11 of them run on Asus. They run wonderfully
(except for the one we tried putting two TE405P boards in) and we have had
two of them running for over 2 years now. Most handle tens of thousands of
calls a day. We've been using Asus boards for our other servers for years
and have been very happy with them. 

The one other board that we have in an Asterisk server is a dual-CPU Tyan
server board. We have had several problems with it, most annoying is the
boot-hang because of a Tyan incompatibility with the SCSI RAID card that is
in it, in addition to the fact that less than a year after the board's
release they stopped updating the bios for it(and that was 2 years ago).

Hope This helps,

MATT---

Digium says: 
  SuperMicro XL5SSE - AU$800
  ASUS NRL-NS533 - Not available in Au
  Tyan Trinity GCSL - Seems to be made of pure unobtainium.

Voip-info offers not much more info (apart from Buy a Dell, which has
already been discussed here as a Bad Idea(tm)) and hints that one of the
earlier Intel Xeon motherboards worked well.

How about someone stick their head up and say 'I am using XYZ and it's
working flawlessly, zttest never loses a byte, it's just perfect. Buy
this.'

Feel free to email me directly and I'll summarise on the wiki, as it
seems to be a bit out-dated.
