take a look at this:

So that's what 128 gigabytes of RAM looks like ... - The Something Awful Forums

(Looks like some crappy ram though :-D)

Looks like crappy ram, but it get's the job done.

But that is seriously a lot of RAM. I've never seen so much before. It's like a city down there.

Well ****, You got putting that much ram in a PC you'd pay for a high end pc alone just in brand ram.

bahh that's nothin

At my university we have a Dell supercomputer for doing CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and it has 25 nodes with 2 dual core Xeons and 8gb in each node

That's 50 processors (100 cores) and 200gb ram Still takes ages for a simulation apparently though...I haven't used it yet but should be working with it next year.

well the bottleneck there is the network latency, even if they are on a closed network. that machine has all of that stuff connected together locally, so it would probably be faster in some respects.

That RAM is gonna put out some serious heat.

How would they cool this system? My guess, is having the whole room air conditioned.

Server RAM doesn't come with fancy heat-spreaders. It looks like Hynix RAM. One of the biggest RAM manufacturers.
