Odd, pretty much all the motherboards I looked at for a single Intel i7
processor supported up to 24 GB.

GIYF. ;-)
Hint: It's not your typical off-the-shelf desktop PC. We're talking
very specialized hardware here.

So it's in the same category as "where do you buy s bus" then?

Well, really, it's only "very specialized" if your business doesn't involve
large-memory computing. That sort of stuff is pretty off-the-shelf if you're
an engineering firm or a something like that.

Well, yeah - but I'm not going to find it going to the local Best Buy,
that's what I mean. :-)

Or "where would I buy a more powerful laser than the laser pointer I
bought at Office Max"?

It is indeed not a "Personal Computer" sort of thing. :-)

I'll just rent em when I need em. :-)
It was funny, tho. I read someone talking about all the "nosql" databases,
and how people were complaining SQL doesn't "scale". He said "SQL scales
fine. What the people mean is that SQL doesn't scale if you want to use a
commodity piece of hardware like Amazon rents. This is what we have in my
office for testing:" and gives the stats on a 96-CPU 256G RAM SQL processor.
He says "That's the low-end base machine for testing, not the production
system."
