So the only thing I can say definitively is start with VEPro and save yourself some aggravation! That's what I know at the moment. So it's always a game of optimization, and 64GB seems to be optimal at the moment. I'm also concerned that just because a machine can host 64GB (approx) of instruments doesn't mean it can stream them all. Currently 64 GB seems to be the practical (affordable) limit, and that's my target.
Then, when I've recovered from that adventure I will need to build a machine to host Kontakt and Vienna Instruments. All of which will use VEPro to get back and forth. I will use this to host a bunch of synthesizers, and since it still has "real" PCI slots I've loaded it up with a Frontier Dakota/Montana/Sierra giving me 32 audio inputs for my (hardware) synth rack, and 32 CV outputs for my analog synths, and an 8x8 MIDI interface, also for the hardware synths. I have a Q6600 based system (my previous DAW) which is limited to 8GB of memory. It doesn't need to be a fire-breathing dragon, but it still needs to be reasonably fast, and you may be limited to CPU/Motherboard choices by your memory requirements. It will still require some work, The hardware requirements for a secondary machine depend on what you plan to host there. While FXTransport, MIDIOverLAN, Dante, and other such tools work, VEPro simplifies things so much that I recommend just starting there.

I've run a bunch of different machine configurations over the years, from single machine to Master plus GigaStudio slave (for those that remember Giga) to single machine using VEPro to host Kontakt to Master plus Audio+MIDI slave using Lightpipe and MidiOverLan to Master plus Audio+MIDI slave using VEPro. I'm currently using one fast PC, but I'm about to add at least one, and maybe two additional machines.
