Of course that's just RAM. If you want a server with it, it's not much more, just over $1K shipped:

- astrodust 9y agoIt's true, 1TB of memory is well within the realm of an over-eager enthusiast. Motherboards that support it aren't even exotic, they're just physically large server-grade ones.
- agumonkey 9y agoCompletely. 2000CUR is nothing for someone who is looking at this. It's an apple laptop. Nothing smashing. That said I still want my OS to fit on a fdd and have 64k demos generating the universe.
- yuhong 9y agoThey are often based on lower density DDR3 chips that consume more power per bit. That being said you can do 1TB on a normal dual socket server with 64GB DDR4 LR-DIMMs for a while now, though they do come at a cost per bit premium.
