So that is ~80 calls per GB of ram which is 20% of 400 users so that 
should be 5 or 6GB to handle 100% usage.

The load avg is the most important here.  You want to keep it under 1.00 
or you have processes waiting which increases jitter.  Your system will 
be at 80% usage with 160 calls, assuming linear scaling.

What are the specs for processor, memory and chipset that you pulled 
this stat from?
