What mft/model?

I was recently quoted a 4GB Compact Flash drive as part of a small system 
we plan to run asterisk on.  Loosely tieing this to the recent thread on 
swap configuration, assuming a small number of SIP phones and no PSTN 
hardware, we were planning on 1GB of RAM to avoid swapping to this CF 
device.

I know that CF cards have a limited number of writes before frying.  If we 
keep it from using swap am I really only concerned about voicemail and 
logs?

Cheers,
