After the ~64GB RAM mark, you have to start considering server-oriented boards and builds (supermicro motherboards, etc.). If you're looking at buying, I had a nice server built by AVADirect a couple of years ago that I've been quite happy with. The midrange server builds they offer support 256-512GB RAM even in 1U. Beats brand prices and gives you better configurability with what you get, and they don't overcharge too much for disks/memory (which the big names seem to like to do). I'm not sure how economical I'd consider them in the grand scheme of things, but you can escape for ~$5k with 128GB RAM (slots for another 128GB) and ~3TB usable 10krpm RAID, with a real RAID card.
