Anyone think we're going to see these in the next year or so? Ivy Bridge supports it...
I would love to have that much ram installed in my portable.

See it? Sure. Be able to afford it? Not likely. 8GB was well over a thousand when it first came out, took a couple years to be affordable (sub $300 per module).
 
cost is a relative measure.

i paid over $300 for 8 megs of ram at one point in my life. :)

does anyone manufacture it *right now*? (right now it the time i probably can't afford the cost).

None that I'm aware of. I only checked Crucial and a couple store sites, nothing but 2x8 when looking for 16GB SODIMM modules.
