I agree with you with a difference point.
Nowadays I would not go for a faster CPU, but I would buy a SSD as system drive and the one that comes with the computer as second one for data. That does make a difference.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I am with you there - unless you have SOOO much memory you don't use any virtual.
If you are routinely generating page faults in the millions, then add more RAM or get the SSD and see your performance increase from that.

Racing "Stripes" is a bit off, but close enough. I actually just add stickers for the different tech I worked with on that machine. My current laptop only has stickers for Arduino so far, but that's because I haven't gotten any stickers for Android yet.
When at first you don't succeed, use more XML!
When XML does not appear to solve it, you are not using enough XML!

They missed out on 'duct' tape.
I broke open my old HP Server last night because the damn release was not working, now the 'clamshell-easy-open' case is held together with duct tape.

I think most of us max the memory on the initial purchase if we can afford it. Drive and memory are just a consumables, neither of which I would consider an upgrade.
I have pretty flashy blue lights on the tower so I don't need fancy racing stripes! You think I'm joking, Acer have a booster/overdrive button, the fan goes apeshit and blue light gets all excited and flashes madly. It sounds like a landing zone, I pushed it once, never again!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

In the past that was always a bad thing to do, memory prices fluctuated a lot, the price of upgrades didn't, and were always higher than buying it later.
Now a days, you have to check that in the drive to make laptops all the more breakable, they've not soldered the damn stuff on.
