[*] AMD Machine

[Dan & Michele]

My current asterisk machine is an ol' intel pII/350 with redhat.
Prior to that, I had it on an AMD K62/450.

It's interesting to note that what you read there is a belief that the 
intel processors work better for an asterisk server rather than an amd 
processor -- from what I recall, I thought that certain series of the 
pentium chipsets were better at integer arithmetic and that the amd's 
were better at floating point --

One can conclude that since fixed-point arithmetic is much simpler than 
floating point that the asterisk encoders are either fractional or 
integer based fixed point computations -- I don't really know though. ;-)

Anyone know for sure?

Thanks.

Dan.
