Even looking on Amazon, DDR4 seems still a decent bit above $2/GB:

2 x 32GB: $142

2 x 64GB: $318

8GB: $16

2 x 16GB: $64

2TB of 128GB DDR4 ECC: $9,600 (https://www.amazon.com/NEMIX-RAM-Registered-Compatible-Mothe...)

> Servers that support that much are actually cheap (~$200)

What does this mean? What motherboards support 2TB of RAM at $200? Most of them are pushing $1,000. With no CPU.

It may not hit $50K, but it's definitely not going to be $2K.

Here's a server that supports 3TB of memory for $130, you get 3TB by filling all 24 memory slots with 128GB LRDIMMs, 2TB with 16:

Here are 128GB LRDIMMs for $98:

For 2TB and the server you're at $1698. You can get a drive bracket for a few bucks and a 2TB SSD for $100 and have almost $200 left over to put faster CPUs in it if you want to.
