I have been pricing together a system that meets the ZFS recommendations (64 bit, >=2Gb) to build a new file server.

Oh my god. Did I really just read this? 64 bit processor and greater than 2GB of ram just to run a *filesystem*? Better add some memory and processor oomph so that there is something left over to run an application or two.
