Who would use 192GB of RAM?

Was just looking through Dell's store and seen that the Dell Precision T7500 has 192GB of RAM.

Just curious, who would use that amount of RAM in a desktop?

Would it be like animators and such?

I still can't imagine them using over 16GB at most, and you can get that in laptops...

UPDATE:

Here are some links to all the people who believe that this is a mistake on the Dell website.

LINK NUMBER ONE.
LINK NUMBER TWO.
LINK NUMBER THREE.
LINK NUMBER FOUR.
LINK NUMBER FIVE.

Permalink Reply by Matz Rios on April 19, 2009 at 1:43pm: there's no RAM available yet to get that much,it only states that it can support un to 192GB of RAM.even the Mac Pro can support up to that much RAM,but the Mac Pro is Based on The RAM available this date.and the Dell has only 6 DIMM Slots and the Mac Pro has 8,they both have Intel Xeon Processors so it really can handle that much RAM.but still the 192GB is still not available now.; ▶ Reply to This
