how did they get servers with insane amount of ram?

  You can get servers with much more ram than 384GB. Here is a relatively inexpensive motherboard with 24 DIMMs that will go up to 768GB. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813151260 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813151... There are other solutions to take it much further than that.

    holy crap! so no more need for multiple clusters of servers, just up the ram and disk space.

      This is of course why there are two options, vertical and horizontal scaling. Eventually you have to stop upgrading one server and split it up.
