Actually if you look again, it's 32GB of Ram. There are 2 of those 16GB 
kits. I parted out a 6 core Sandy (socket 2011) and with all the bells 
and whistles I have on the other build you would run that computer for a 
little more than $3000 depending on what power you want. That includes 2 
SSD drives 2 2TB HDD 32Gb Ram and the 580GTX 3GB card. Still, compared 
to a Mac Pro either computer will do some damage for much less.
