I'm curious if this works when the RSA key is spread across multiple DDR sticks. I have 4 sticks of 8GB each in my home desktop. Would the key be contained in just one? Spread among multiple sticks? If it is spread, would it completely foil the attack, or just make it take longer?

Actually, it might make the attack faster, especially if the spread is across multiple memory channels or controllers?
