As a PC builder and a geekette I love this kind of thing: -

Samsung took two quad core QX9775 processors – added 800MHz FBDIMM 4GB RAM, 24 SSDs totalling 6TB in a RAID setup…

The result was well hot: 2GB/second data transfer, all of M$ Office opened in the blink of an eye, the entire Windows start menu in under 20 seconds…

..And yet the Linux zealots say that Windows is slow: Not if you run it on the right machine it isn’t! OK some Linux distros will run happily on a 486…Yes; I’m not even going there: I wasn’t advertising Windows – I was going to show you this amazing machine.

Note the SSDs at the end: He gives them enough abuse to wreck some standard HDDs; and yet they all worked well afterwards. I look forwards to when SSDs come down in price to something near their spinning-disk predecessors.

Enough of my spiel: Watch the video; you’ll be enthralled:

Now that is just utterly incredible! – But it’s real.

…And just in case you missed it; here are all the design specs that they provide at the end very quickly: -

What this shows is that the major bottleneck on inferior computers is the hard-drive.

Yes you can speed up any PC by adding more RAM; to a point. – But look what haoppens when a decent PC has optimum access to fast drives.
