From computer stores, where else? However, 16 is an odd number in days of
tripple channel. Consumer/prosumer mb's typically will top out at 24GB
(single cpu) or 48GB (dual cpu).

Most if not all the motherboards I've seen top out at 8GB, actually...

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

C# - a language whose greatest drawback
is that its best implementation comes
from a company that doesn't hate Microsoft.

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

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.
