I fear that "rolling my own" is well above my pay grade, but for our purposes ( a simple node on the peer to peer Collectors network ) mostly with one call in progress, no firewall or multiple Ethernet ports, and a very simple dialplan, even 128M of ram works with megs to spare. Noloading many of the unused Asterisk modules helps as well I don't often even use these anymore, but the ones in use do work, and no real plans to upgrade in the near future. New units mostly are set up with 512M ram or better, and usually 5720 or 5730 models.
