Brand/model/etc is not really relevant (not super new but not dinosaurs) - but they are real machines not VMs and yes the extra RAM does go unused. FWIW when I do a cvs up, full base build and 'make release' on i386 it takes a bit over 3h, and a package bulk build (which uses 3 machines) it takes a little under 40h.
