LOL.  In 1985 I worked for a start up supercomputer company.  They were 
building huge custom boards that used 1 megabyte dimms, rows and rows of 
them to get 128 megs of main memory on a board about 18" x 18".

For several years now there have been motherboards that claimed to allow 
16 gigs of ram, but only had 4 dim sockets.  IOW you could plug in 4 gig 
dims if they existed, which they did not.  Now they do.
