Not sure. I would not stick that many E1s on a single box since Asterisk
can deadlock. That does not mean that it will but it can and does. In
this case it would bring down 480 channels. Are you willing to run that
risk?

I would offload the prepaid application to another set of boxes for
scalability and redundancy.
