I looked a while ago and there were ~$100 motherboards for Core 2 Duo that
would take up to 8GB.  The current lower-end servers we deploy for hosting
have just recently been bumped from 4 to 8GB on the specs, and they see to
run similar chipsets as the desktop boards.  These are for P4/Celeron/PD
systems.  The Xeons are 32GB.

So, I'd say it's starting to get there.  The problem with laptops is that
the 4GB memory upgrade for a laptop makes the server RAM look cheap.  ;-/
