For the brave, you can test it out yourself (if you can get the beta to work without documentation) with the callgenerator on http://www.astertest.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4 Its far from finished, but it can be used.

zoa.

The max number of calls is something that's not really a hard-and-fast
number. There's been numerous discussions regarding *'s "upper limit"
of connections, check the previous postings to this list for more
info.

Again, it depends on a lot of different variables, like what the * box
is doing, how many AGIs it's running, whether or not you're doing
extensive DB stuff.

Generally speaking, you won't go wrong with a box that's beefy in
terms of RAM.


Exactly what is it that is RAM demanding in Asterisk? A database server
should be separate box anyway....



Asterisk doesn't use very much RAM itself, but any swapping could destroy call quality. My 2 main asterisk machines that are in production only have 256 megs and perform just fine. All newer machines are getting 512meg or more but it is mainly because of the cost is negligible to do the upgrade now.
