The FS devs don't endorse or recommend any specific hardware. However,  
many FreeSWITCH user are quite vocal about the hardware they prefer so  
we will let them speak. Just remember that YMMV depending on your  
specific setup. That being said, it does not sound like your HW reqs  
are very intense. Some of our members who've used the atom can  
probably give you specific feedback.
