Another thing to consider is memory bandwidth. Many calculations these days are memory bandwidth bound, not disk/CPU bound.
I don't know how common this is, but on the machine I own, a Sun Ultra 27, the RAM runs at 1333 MHz if there is 6 GB or less. Since I have got 12 GB, the speed drops to 1033 MHz. So more ram, might actually slow some systems!
