When I finally was able to upgrade from 4MB to 16MB of RAM on my Linux box in ~95-96, I went from constant swapping to FAST COMPUTER. Seriously, I had no idea compiling a kernel could be fast. It was taking something like 7-8 hours and I just thought it was a lot of work (though it is, of course).
The next time I compiled a kernel took something like 8 minutes. I couldn't believe my eyes as the steps flew by on the console.
Other than "adequate RAM" I'll go for "SSD" like everyone else. Now adequate RAM doesn't even matter all that much because swapping is so fast (relatively speaking).
