64GB for database systems is still fairly large amount of ram for Databases and still largely considered an enterprise class server.. I know lots of several multi billion dollar companies running their financials and oltp systems on servers with <64gb ram. Also, people don't generally by over the counter ram for their servers, they're spending extra on ECC memory correcting ram.



The blog post did link to ECC RAM (4 x 16GB DDR3 RDIMMs)[1]. It does seem that most of them are above $600 though.
