[Asterisk-Users] Re: Anyone aware of a current Dell server model with 3PCI slots

[Tom Hayden]

Yeah, with our Dell Poweredge 750, we had all kinds of IRQ conflicts
and whatnot. I booted up and in the BIOS I turned off all sorts of
devices, including one of the ethernet cards, the USB, serial, etc. 
After that, things worked much better.
