RAM is much more important than CPU. 2GB should be plenty for 15 phones, but be able to increase it if you need to. For CPU, the major burden is the voicemail system. (In 4.2, we will replace it with a new voicemail system that is much more CPU-efficient.) With 15 phones, you are unlikely to have more than 2 voicemail sessions at one time, and for that 2 x 1.6GHz CPU is more than enough. (2 x 2.0GHz can handle 10 sessions.)
