The question I would ask would be if the data you're going to be working on is stored locally or will you need to connect to a remote location for it? I'm just not sure how much RAM you're going to need. That's going to depend on the size of your data files/queries (as well as stored locally or remotely).

If the data is stored locally, what I'd be thinking is an Intel Core I7 processor with 16GB of RAM; depending on how much memory you'd typically need for daily work. I'd probably be running Windows 7/8.1 Professional with a Virtual Machine server running in the background.

Yes, I am kinda thinking using VMware to host 6 linux (splitting the DB tier and Application tier). Was thinking about buying the 64gb setup vs server. But yes I will run host machine on win 7 then 6 VMs on linux, each allocating 4 gb of ram. Thanks
