Mathematica 8 (currently under development) will include
a major rewrite of the Solve command. Using the development
version of Mathematica, the computation takes 480 seconds
on a 4-core 2.8 GHz Xeon processor and uses 16 GB of RAM.

The result contains 20 solutions and can be downloaded at

well , 4 hours in it is at about 12GB process size and growing slowly.
Will be interesting to see where it tops out.
