Probably as much as your bandwidth can handle. Check ont the voip wiki
(http://www.voip-info.org) and use the search term "dimensioning."
You'll find lots of older references to systems running at 400 MHz - 1
GHz passing many calls as long as they don't transcode between codecs.

I myself have a little FIT-PC2 that I'm starting to use for Asterisk.
It's basically a netbook, like the hardware you describe, but tiny and
very low power. Ideal for a small office or home office.
