Hmm? I would think that the majority of x86-64 users have <4GB.
I bought an ASUS P5RD1-VM motherboard a few months ago which
has 2 DIMM slots. Look at their list of 'hot' motherboards:
http://usa.asus.com/products2.aspx?l1=3&l2\x11 I don't see a single one
with more than 4 slots. 2GB DIMMs are hovering around the $400 mark;
I'm not convinced that your average user is spending $1200 on RAM at
this point.
