Have you sucessfully run Asterisk on a ITX system??

I have heard that the processor in the ITX boards is not up to the job 
of larger processing jobs.. The review I read said that the 900Mhz 
processor had about the same processing power as a 500Mhz Intel processor..

Rememebr this is just what I have read, I haven't actually tested it 
myself..

I guess if you use low overhead codecs (G.711) it will be OK but I 
wonder how it will handle GSM, iLBC and G.729 codecs..

Later..
