There are quite a few companies who will build/sell 64G Servers that they

Out of curiosity (and noting that that kind of server is waaaaaay over my
head) - WHAT exactly will a server like that be running? I always
thought that clustering servers would be more efficient than having one
"uber"server?

Scientific applications that do not partition well. Or Oracle.

Oracle wouldn't really agree, the "g" in 10g means "grid".
