I would say that a more important/relevant question is - what kind of network connection do you need? Not raw speed, but latency and lost packets - especially at prime time - early evening hours. I guess there are benchmark tests for this. For really low power Asterisk, I have had good results with the Intel Atom D510mo. With a solid state drive, the whole thing draws 18 watts (including 2 URI's in my case). It has an integrated gigabit LAN connection, etc, etc. Ken -----Original Message----- From: Jon Rorke <jrorke@cogeco.ca> To: APP_RPT_Users <app_rpt-users@qrvc.com> Sent: Fri, Oct 8, 2010 2:41 pm Subject: [App_rpt-users] How fast a pc needed for hub node?
