I have a decent PC (AMD 3990X 64-Core Processor with 256 GB of RAM), I'd have installed better/more components but that seemed to be the best you could do on the consumer market a few years ago when I was building it.
Are they using the same RAM I'm using with a different motherboard that just supports more of it? Or are they using different components entirely?
Apologies for what I'm sure is a very basic question but it would be interesting to learn about.
Here's what a lowly 256GB server looks like. For a TB just imagine even more sticks:
The only real exception to that would be for database or reporting servers, which sometimes might have higher ram requirement (eg 384GB).
That's pretty much it though.
