Yeah, seconded. My machine at home (mostly used for games) is a Core i7 
960 (LGA1366; triple channel memory; 3.2 GHz); the one at work (used for 
development using memory-hungry Netbeans and Oracle SQL Developer) is a 
Core i7 860 (LGA1156; dual channel memory; 2.8 GHz). Both have 6 GB of 
memory and I've never managed to get even near that capacity.

Unless you're working with lots of huge images, but I believe you're 
more of a developer than a designer.
