    IBM 64GB STICKS FRU 46K2590 64GB 8GX72 Wow this is one weird RAM module from IBM that looks like tipple height. Not immediately clear but may be for a Power7 system. I bet that server has some amazing RAM capacity. Although Supermicro has their Ultra Servers with 24 DIMMs and 1.5TB RAM Support.
