I work for AMD. I stress platforms (as virtual machines) and network devices with a suite of stress tests to make sure the latest products are compatible with vendor software.
I get to play with allot of crazy hardware. Lately we've been testing 32GB DDR3 LRDIMM modules.

Here are some pictures (code-names and vendor names removed for obvious reasons):

32GB LRDIMM:

ESXi 5.0 Test (48 DIMMs x 32GB = 1.5TB):

System (48 DIMMs across 4 cards):

One of these days I'll take the DSLR in and get some better pics. Crummy phone camera...

aye, my thumbdrive is bigger than my original hard drive. and, it had 256k simms . . .

duk0r, are the virtual machines totally memory dependent, or do you get some kick from the cpu too?

Typically you will run out of RAM on a VM before anything else. CPUs can be shared pretty easily and are FAST. However you can't really share memory and its still kinda slow. So if you have a VM with 20 guests and each OS at minimum consumes 1GB of RAM- then that's 20GB lost to your operating systems alone in the VM. This is not including any extra RAM to process applications. A system that can handle allot of RAM is very handy in the VM world.

cool

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}
