asterisk users - Sep 2008 - Short question: CPU hardware requirements for Asterisk

Dear all, just a short question:

What is the best CPU hardware requirements (CPU, memory, hard drive) to
install Asterisk with SIP/RTP protocol for 100-150 users, and routing
the RTP traffic by itself (no direct RTP traffic client-to-client) ????

Special thanks

Alejandro

A short question does not imply a short answer :)

"Best" depends on your "Clinton-esq" definition of whatever
"best" means
to you.

CPU - any reasonably modern, mainstream processor -- assuming you are not 
transcoding.

RAM - The Asterisk process will consume about 100mb.

Disk - Irrelevant to processing calls. You can build a CentOS based system 
on less than 4gb. Astlinux can do it on the head of a pin.

If you want more specific answers you need to spend some time developing 
more specific questions :)

Searching about on voip-info.org for "dimensioning" may help.

Thanks in advance,
