[Asterisk-Users] X100p on VIA EPIA-V problems

[Marcelo Pacheco]

I have the following system setup:

ECS KT600-A motherboard
Athlon XP 2.6 FSB 333
2x512 MB 333 DDR memory
TDM400P (3 FXS, 1 FXO)
X101P (Encore MD 3200) modem
nVidia MX 4000

Works all right, I have been restarting asterisk about once a week, due to 
other issues. Here's the lspci:

I've been using this box as my asterisk server, workstation, broadband router 
(sharing with a 768/256 ADSL with 10 LAN users), web server, e-mail server, 
gift (kazaa for linux) and running Windows games with Wine without any 
frequent issues. Considering that I'm running a snapshot conectiva linux 
(currently at 2.6.9 kernel), I'd say Asterisk itself has been rock solid. 
However Asterisk activity is very load, Asterisk is essentially single-user 
(myself). There have been sporadic lockups (once or twice a month), but I 
would atribute that to things other than Asterisk.
