Hi Louw, For a single instance 24GB of RAM should be enough. For the OS is using SSD a bit nonsence, even SATA is enough, so don't spend to much on that.
But if you want speed, look at the SSD cards of Fusion-IO (fusionio.com) these cards are build for enterprise usage and have redundancy on the card, so you don't need to build a raid with it. On a single card, you can put the database and logfiles SAVE, with lightning speed and still not very expensive.
