In my experience I don't see any benefit from dual cpu's on asterisk
boxes unless you are doing a lot of transcoding and generally I would
suggest trying to avoid transcoding as it generally works out more cost
effective in the long run than continually adding hardware. I've found
chan_sip to be a limiter long before the hardware is stressed.<br>
