With the recent release of Teamspeak 3, Ventrilo is having more and more competition to go up against.Ventrilo

There really are no online posts with hard-proof and real data about the bandwidth, cpu usage, memory usage, etc is for each one of these programs it is all linked more to personal preference.

If you have your own server boxes like we do you can run the free ventrilo server which is limited to 8 connections while Teamspeak has a limit I cannot remember what it was.  As far as I can remember, Mumble has no limit.

While some may worry about bandwidth used by these programs there is no real difference between them.  It all depends on what voice codec is used coupled with its bit rate and whether stereo or mono.

Like I said, it boils down to personal preference.  Ventrilo is certainly easier to install and maintain and use rather than Teamspeak but I consider ventrilo to be like apple.  Closed off to innovation and source.
