I'm still amazed at my 8GB machine I just built which has a 6 core processor. It's funny, I priced up a 24GB machine with a nearly top i7 processor, 2x2TB drives in Raid 1, Sata 6, etc, and the price was something like 5-6 times my machine. 1/2 the price difference was the i7. My 6 core AMD was only about 2/3rds the speed of the top i7.
There is always a huge price tag between the bleeding edge and the cost effective.
