Hi All, 

I'm about to buy new server for IVR type application where I might bump up system to  use up to 1000 channels to do play/record type IVR application though event socket interface, and minor database lookups.  I have been looking around Wiki and other posts but don't see any specific recommendations yet. 

I'm eyeing at following Dell spec : 

PowerEdge R610
Dual processor IntelŽ XeonŽ E5606 2.13GHz, 8M Cache
12GB Memory 
 

WIll that be enough ?   There are many questions - what's real bottleneck ?    Is it CPU or memory  or FreeSwitch can not utilize  SMP, parallel execution  etc.. ? 

I greatly appreciate if anyone can  share experience and recommend better solution.
