Consider 2 socket dual core CPU with "more" mhz, Asterisk is more IO
than computation. The quad core CPU is lower in MHZ and all the CPUs
share the same IO.
The architecture design of the XEON board is wrong for really IO
intensive apps, consider stepping up to a AMD arch.
Also the 2950 is a 2U server that use IRQ sharing (WHY?), wrong with
boards like the T1 Digium..
Bye.
