As of mid 2011, for £1K you can buy a PC with 24 GB of memory and for £21K you can buy a server with 512 GB of memory.

I'm not sure where he gets his computers from but those prices seem to be at least a few years away.

The computer runs at 3.8 GHz and came with two 20" screens. ;)

The £21K computer is a Dell incl. tax retail price from their web site.

Perhaps it sounds cheaper in £ instead of $ or € ;)
