[Asterisk-Users] Performance: Xeon or Opteron?

[RandyW]

Yep, there is a lot of chatter about how hardware "x" performs with 
Asterisk and while I/O is the primary mover, most designs today will 
handle the modest Asterisk install easily.   I've got a site where they 
use 6 lines and 15 users on a 500Mhz CPU w/512MB RAM and boot off a 2GB 
flash disk.

VERY modest and absolutely dominates that particular install.

Only in the larger installs will hardware be an issue, but even then it 
doesn't take much hardware (from a server perspective) to handle a LOT 
of Asterisk traffic.
