Hi Scott,

I’m running Freeswitch on a Atom N270 with 2 GB RAM and a 120GB Solid State Disk on a industrial computer (no fans, no moving parts). This box easily can handle 70 users with basic pbx functions.

One thing to notice: avoid transcoding! This is way too much for a Atom. One channel transcoding causes 40% CPU usage. We use G729 as the default codec.

Im running FreeBSD 8.1 x86 on that box. No need for 64bit imho.

Regards,

Erik

Hello fs_users. New to the list and to fs We're migrating to fs.

(1) Is an Atom(TM) CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz (Dual-core, with hyper-threading) with 4GB of DDR2 (albeit locked at 800MHz FSB) motherboard adequate for a small legal office.  Eight (8) desk sets and in use pretty hard throughout the day.  As well, there's often a 6-8 session inbound teleconference.  This low watt board is presently running 'the other guy,' but the without the conferencing.  Desk sets 'prefer' G722 (g711 fallback) and our vsp, voicenetwork, supports g722 on the registered 'trunk.'

(2) Target OS is CENTOS 6.3 x86_64 (unless repsonce here persuades otherwise).  For optimum fs+os performance, should the mobo BIOS leave the hyper-threading enabled or should hyper-threading be disabled

Also,

(2) should we build fs native 64-bit or native 32-bit for this mobo setup?  (heard unsupported /stories/ that some apps run better as 32-bit on this gen of ATOM)

Thanks,
