[BBLISA] Pop quiz

[Rudie, Tony]

The answer is:  round numbers, 200K.  The 8GB sticks are 10X more expensive PER GIGABYTE than the 4GB.  Holy cow.

I found the answer to this quite surprising, so I'll post the question, and then the answer later today:

If an HP 4-socket Intel-based blade, with 64 GB memory, (using 4GB memory sticks) costs, round numbers, $32K, then:

	How much does the very same blade cost, with 128 GB of memory, using (perforce) 8 GB sticks?
