Yeah, but there is a hole between those categories. A Ryzen processor happily supports 64GB ram with a 4-slot board, and that is something they do not support.

If you take the Major version you are bound to get a more expensive Threadripper processor. But my current default build would be much cheaper and support up to 64GB ram, see https://www.pc-kombo.com/share/mORbPdR4 https://www.pc-kombo.com/share/mORbPdR4. And that's also in a small case.
