8GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD? It's like an upper entry level or lowest mainstream consumer PC. Why would they even bother to begin from there? Because it's Dell, I suppose.

Nope, you read that correct. It can have up to a 1TB of DDR4 ECC memory, up to 32GB AMD Radeon PRO W6800 or up to 48GB NVIDIA RTX A6000 graphics. I have been waiting for this to come out to get one of our engineers upgraded from a Precision 7920 with a 16GB Nvidia Quadro RTX5000, 96GB DDR4 2933MHz ECC memory, and an Intel Xeon Gold 6242 2.8GHz (3 .9GHz Turbo, 16C, 22MB Cache processor.
The Threadripper Pro will help save a lot of time in rendering projects in Rhino 6, Orca3D Level 2, and Simerics CFD software. After customizing the build, that thing is not going to be $5000. Even my previous build was $8000, and that was with discounts from our Dell rep.

Well aware of the cpu and what it is capable of, yet, I cannot believe (or I cannot remember) you can only fit DDR4 modules to the MB it uses.
It's 2022, nearly 2023 (holidays, black Friday, just a few weeks away now) and yet, we got memory modules being used which became obsolete in mid-2020 ?
C'mon, considering the throughput of that cpu, do you not think it would need faster memory?
What am I missing here?
