Most dual CPU boards have 8 sockets, and we commonly put 16GB in them. 
Using 2GB modules/
We build 4 CPU machines, and these boards have 16 slots.

What is "reasonable price" ?
We currently sell ECC Registered DDR400 low profile 1GB DIMMs (Corsair 
CM72SD1024RLP-3200/S) for $205
2GB are $475

For Socket939 board you do not need the ECC modules, and good quality 
branded parts are 10% to 15% less.

And you can always find cheaper stuff, but it might be less compatible 
or reliable..
