[lug] FYI systems w/ more than 128GB

Just a note for anyone thinking about large ram amounts in a single system.

In looking at motherboards and systems on the web I haven't seen any intel i7
or amd ryzen systems that could be configured for more than 128GB. Motherboards
that take an i7 or a xeon cpu have all had a max of 128G for the i7 and max
of 256G or more for the xeon.

This is a bummer for a database load process that isn't cpu constrained with
a low-end i5 but could benefit from lots of ram. A xeon is just overkill.
