This has to be some of the poorest advice I have seen on this list... 
what is 'hardware voice processing capable'?

We run 120 channels of TDM on single CPU servers all the time (no 
transcoding of course), and the amount of RAM is nearly irrelevant. 
Independent tests have shown there is no appreciable performance 
difference between the available quad-port T1 cards.

The poster did not ask about handling '1000 calls' nor about Linux 
distributions.

This entire response was clearly an advertisement for your 
products/services, and as such is inappropriate for this list.

To the OP: The TE406P and TE411P are identical except for PCI bus 
interface voltage. Use whichever your server can accept, and if it can 
do both (which is rare), use the TE411P as in the future 5V slots will 
be harder to find.
