I can't tell iv any flavour of virtualisation will work, as my machine just have 512MB mem in them. In case you have something that creates lots of hw-interrupts, you are probably far better off with sparc archticture: Due to backwards compatibility intel based PC's still have to be compatible with the very old IBM-PC design. If it is just sip/iax you want, why not? I presume you don't want to stream & convert a couple of hundreds hifi connections... Even for that, there are some debates wether intel or amd is better ;-) otoh, with those new intel-boxes, one can take advantage of the latest cpu-enhancements (AES-intructions), nice for encryption (vpn/disk) and you can use high-res video boards.
