Much less than you would think. Any modern processor is more than enough.

More than enough unless your extended multi-generation family lives with 
you. And you multiply like rabbits. And you all want to talk at the same 
time.

The LinuxMCE (http://http://linuxmce.org/) project may be of interest to 
you. They integrate Asterisk, Myth, home automation and the kitchen sink 
into a single distribution. They just announced their 8.10 release 
candidate a couple of days ago.
