Realize a lot of input is probably helpful in sizing small systems
(limited memory capacity and/or processing capability) going forward
in 4.2, since a lot of features are being added (IM, etc.) and a new
voicemail system too. If the sipconfig starts crawling to load it,
it's not going to be very useful for anyone.
While those systems are small, the processor would concern me. You
would be better off to go with a small system with regular components.
I would, as man, like to see one that is flash friendly, but I see a
limited lifespan of the drive the way the technology exists and the
way the software loads in it. When sipxecs has "firmware" (OS and sipx
modules on flash) separate from "configuration and data" (voicemail,
xml config data etc. on normal storage), then it would be really
exciting, but not as flexible in the hardware department.
I was going by Scott and Dale's comments (pasted below) which indicate
that is more than adequate CPU and the CPU needs were actually
decreasing with 4.2. I am going to put 4 GB RAM in it, so that is the
most the 32 bit OS can use anyway.
Why would you say I would be better off with regular components? I plan
to pick this drive:
Emphase Industrial 32 GB SLC
The general consensus I find is that these drives should last longer
than I would need.

Most systems I have seen (especially in dusty closets like these will be
in) have had a moving part fail within a few years. If I'm going to have
to decentralize, I need to make it as reliable as I can without spending
the money required for server grade hardware.
Scott:
"That's plenty. More RAM would be nice for future-proofing, but the CPU
needs of a system like you describe are very small and that should be
fine."
Dale:
"RAM is much more important than CPU. 2GB should be plenty for 15
phones, but be able to increase it if you need to.
For CPU, the major burden is the voicemail system. (In 4.2, we will
replace it with a new voicemail system that is much more CPU-efficient.)
With 15 phones, you are unlikely to have more than 2 voicemail sessions
at one time, and for that 2 x 1.6GHz CPU is more than enough. (2 x
2.0GHz can handle 10 sessions.)"
