rambus would be used in a motherboard specifically designed for it, but i think youll be quite fast enough.
its just my personal experience that 2-3 'cheaper' servers are faster than one monster. i can promise you that if you buy another case and motherboard, and put 1gb of ram in each, and one cpu in each, you will be a lot faster than both cpu's in one box.
again a lot is variable, it depends how you work, do you edit 1 video and start it encoding and want to edit the second while the first encodes.... 2 cpu's and lots of ram are nice.. i prefer to work on multiple cpus with a kvm switch, get a job going on one, switch to number 2, get a job going, switch to 3, get a job going.... you get the idea.
i have not encoded on windows media encoder for a while but im betting pro coder is faster plus it batches too nice to not use.
