That link has over 7 billion of capex for 2006-2009 there without accounting for their earlier pre-2006 hardware. It's eminently feasible.

But in any case, you and I are talking about two different things. You're saying that there is some possible universe where they are using 100 PB of ram on this project alone. I'm claiming that it's very unlikely that this is the same universe as the one we are living in. While I'll gladly admit that you are correct in your claim, I don't think it's useful.
