I don't think I am so much processor bound or even DASD bound (you can tell fr om that I am an old mainframe hack), I do think I am almost entirely RAM bound. I can get upto 64GB some MOBs but I believe I'd have to move up to an XEON board to reach 128GB if the 64GB isn't enough, but I think something between 32GB and 64GB is where I'll probably max out and. The current SSDs and CPU are not taxed much.
Actually, you are compute I/O-bound. That is where the Xeon caching and I/O structure can help you. Piling accessories and huge amounts of memory onto a consumer-grade processor like an i7 will not give you much upside.
Xeon workstations are not much more expensive than the "high-end" i7 towers that hobbyists build, and their performance is much better.
