Hey thanks for the tip. I guess I'm one of a handful of people then. 
I'll have to post my experiences when I finally get it up and running. 
(Waiting on some backordered parts still.)

I'll let you know how the 8GB RAM works out. As it stands, it looks like 
the trick will be getting it to the point where single processes can 
take advantage of large chunks of the overall RAM total. (7.5GB for a 
single process would be so very nice for my testing..)
