It would be nice to see an article comparing all the high RAM machines side by side with specs and prices.

The largest machine I have right now will hold 512G and was a run-of-the-mill machine, it was about $5K, I'd expect the more exotic ones to be substantially more expensive but probably not as expensive as the machines linked here.

5 seconds of googling gets you:

No idea if that will work in that particular server but technically there is no reason why it should not. You can establish a relationship with a distributor to get better prices than those that you can find listed. Those 'call for quotes' things can have two meanings: you're about to be screwed or 'we will give you a better price if you promise to not divulge that we did that'.
