[Digium hat off, ITSP (previous employer) hat on.] Not speaking for Digium on this one, but speaking from personal experience at another company. We could get 100 G.729 channels in a 2x3ghz P4 machine with plenty of CPU room to spare, 4+ years ago, and that rule of thumb served us well. This was for SIP (G.711<->G.729) but I can't imagine that DAHDI or Asterisk takes significantly more or less horsepower for this task now for the base transcoding load.
