Another way to go would be to spend your upgrade money on one of these:
https://www.rpanetwork.co.uk/catalogue/basket.rhtm? add=1&productID=180544&pi=1 It's a low powered server which runs asterisk quite nicely. Installed one with an E1 card last week and it seems fine so far. I had RPA load Suse instead of OpenBSD for better asterisk support.
These are fantastic machines - we've been buying them as parts and using them
for firewalls, routers, etc. and they only draw ~20W of power for a full
system. You can also boot them from Compact Flash cards or USB Memory keys so
you can produce a system with no hard drive.
If you drop to the 600MHz CPU, they don't even need a CPU fan.
My real reservation so far is that they have _loads_ of onboard devices that
soak up interrupt slots. I've managed to turn off most of them, but I'd like to get
rid of 3 of the 4 usb controllers and I can't find the bios button for that.
We have a couple of others running as light mail and web servers.
