Try to isolate the bottleneck first. Fire up perfmon and get a guage for whats slowing you down.
Ive got a similar system (abeit 12gb ram) but i constantly run 3 or 4 VM's concurrently VS2010/VS2008 SQL2008 etc.) My bottleneck was Disk Queue Length, moving from onboard RAID 0 to a adaptec 5950 hardware RAID10 solved my bottleneck. I think i could easily drop cpu and ram and still get similar performance. So try and see what your bottleneck is first before bumping stuff up.
