	What difference would you say the amount of RAM makes? Specific
things you
can/can't do? Call quality?

The more RAM is always better, but you should not really need any more than
1GB for even a large system. 512 is recommended and 256 will work fine for a
small system.


	What do y'all consider the minimum amount of RAM for passing as an
asterisk
server?

That depends on what you want to do. for a home system a PII 250MHz will
probably work just fine.


	What point is overkill on a per user basis? (If anyone's researched
this.)

Processor is usually the limiter that you will run up against, and what will
most determine what kind of capacity you can get out of your system.
