- RAM : I think
qdr (quadruple data rate)-DRAM correctly used in windows will help

I have never seen a PC with QDR RAM. A quick Google search didn't reveal anything either. Do you know any examples you could post links to?
As others have stated in this thread, my experience has been that memory bandwidth is one of the most important things to improve compile times in Quartus. It seems that QDR RAM could make a big difference here.
Some other observations I have made:
- The 32bit version of Quartus is generally faster than the 64 bit version. I assume this is due to the extra memory bandwidth required for the larger memory pointers required for 64 bit.
- Enabling multicore in Quartus does not always speed up the process and can in some cases even slow it down. (When compiling C code such as for Nios on the other hand, multicore makes a huge difference.)
