In my case, before switching to dedicated hw, asterisk was running on a
file/printer/ldap/web server, since we have an userbase of 10 people
dialing out on 2 isdn lines the glitches in audio weren't a real problem
because the probability of having an active call while the server is
used for some other intensive task is really low with few users.

If you're on budget imho you can start by implementing * on the hw you
have, and eventually switch to a dedicated machine, just be sure X isn't
running on the server.

(of course the idea of putting * directly on a production machine and
not on a test one isn't a good one, but this is another topic)
