How many SMBs run more than 24GB per proc now? I honestly can't see that many that would. I'm licensed for 6 proc's, meaning in my environment I could run a total of 144GB . I don't see this being a big deal for us in the SMB space. My hosts have less memory than the processor limit, as it is. Will this increase overtime? Likely.
