Kingston is making them, and according to the research I've done, are
theoretically supported by the Santa Rosa chipset/motherboard. The
part number is KVR667D2S5K2/8G . Search and ye shall find. I haven't
actually received mine yet, but it's supposed to be in route.
Yes, they're expensive ($750-950), and No, I wouldn't possibly
recommend them for everyone. For my needs, it could have been twice
the price and I still would have paid it.
Yes, I need 8GB in my laptop. The last software I installed required
two VMs, one with 3.2GB of RAM (minimum) and the other with 3GB
(minimum). I travel constantly, and the only option I have for running
this software is to carry two laptops, which isn't very fun through
security. So as you can see, I have a very unique need - no one
process I run will be using more than 4GB of RAM, but I still need to
8GB for the combination of applications I have to run simultaneously.

Just received the memory and installed it, and it works like a champ.
Vista Ultimate x64 sees all of it, and booted immediately. It took me
just 3 business days to get it from:

I don't know how hard it is to convert a server into a desktop. But if
you like memory, I hear tell that servers can have 64GB or more of RAM.

OS. Most servers are running Unix or Linux.

Well Windows XP 32-bit is limited to 4GB. But the 64 bit version is
supposed to handle 128GB.
