[Asterisk-Users] max asterisk load

depends on how many concurrent calls you have.
you can have 10k users, but only 10 calls a time,
so a little server is needed. think of that.

supposing you have 30% of your users doing calls
at the same time, I would say to to your question.
perhaps a dual 2.4 gigs fits better.

imho is to have several servers, and spread the load
between them.

the best way (but far from being perfect)
is to test it. put up 2 asterisk servers,
and generate calls between them.
see when the load is high 
(or asterisk crashes :> )

now you have an idea :)

Matteo.
