Props for escaping the Apple cult for Windows, but I'm sorry, how much RAM? Why does anyone need that much RAM? And more importantly, how much did it cost?

The whole box was about 8K (w/o the monitors). Go to ThinkMate.com and price it for ECC ram. Prices change often. It's less than you think!

We do signal processing software in C++ and GPGPU so we like a lot of ram to hold samples. I probably only needed half of it.

I think people who want to compile Rust also need hundreds of GB or RAM....

My work threadripper was 128G @ $1100(usd) last month for non-ecc ram. Server at twice that decency is likely a pretty penny.
