Robert:
I have a 4801-50, and top displays

voip root # top
Mem: 35368K used, 91388K free, 0K shrd, 1424K buff, 22180K cached
Load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00    (State: S=sleeping R=running, 
W=waiting)
  ...
voip root # uptime
  06:02:22 up 29 days, 10:25, load average: 0.05, 0.01, 0.00

If you are concerned about memory leaks,  I gave the uptime.
Conclusion: the -50 has plenty of memory at 128K.

Mark:
I disagree with your statement that "there ain't none!" to the 4801 
horsepower issue.

If a person uses the 4801 with AstLinux with 100% VoIP, little or no 
CODEC transcoding, and a little better, no SIP to IAX2 transcoding, the 
Soekris 4801 will fill most small business's internet connection, with 
CPU to spare.

Isn't that the point of an embedded system? Find a problem and solve it 
very efficiently.  This lowers the cost, but more importantly increases 
stability and MTBF.

If you are popping in cards that haven't been tweaked and tweaked, that 
is another story.

I have no data, but the quality of the Soekris logic-board appears very 
good to me.
