That would be a great system, but I'm not sure I could afford the RAM is i won it.

Uses DDR3-1333 memory, non-ECC or ECC.

So it shouldnt be terrible, just buy 2x2GB kits for each of the 4 channels...... $480 for all 4 kits at $120 a pop at newegg.

Would be nice to see 150K+ PPD from a system like this.
