Not directly, but the choice of processor influences which
chipsets/mainboards are available, which in turn has some impact on
the number of RAM slots.  (According to our hardware supplier, beyound
8 GB, the price per GB goes up sharply.)  Unfortunately, it seems that
the Core 2 Duo mainboards do not change that much in this area.
