Well, let's see. A TR4 mobo can host 8 dimms. Say you want to max out in RAM that's a minimum of $1100. Add at least 10% if you go for ECC modules. Eventually you end up paying for RAM more than what you pay for the CPU. That's why a lot of people are conservative with RAM when they build a new rig. Somehow it doesn't feel right to pay that much money for memory. So you buy the bare minimum and then wait for prices to normalize, which seems like taking forever in this freaking industry.
