Scott, The system will handle the load of 30 call center agents and go
up all they way to 200 agents talking simultaneously. It must also
record the phone conversations of every and all agents/calls. So
transcoding and/or I/O bottlenecks are an issue.
That's why might seem overkill.
we will definitely recompile asterisk in that box. we will not run the
bianries. However when you say compatibilities, you mean development
tools? the compiler? sendmail? apache?
thanks,

The only issue you will need to deal with is the 64-bit compatibilities. I've played with the 64-bit versions and you may run into some compatibility issues for software not specifically compiled for 64-bit and have to re-compile rather than use the binaries or straight RPMs.
