I take that back....

Samsung do make it.
Hard to find though.
Mostly for business only.

You do realise your processor will be out of date before you can run enough to fill 3GB of ram?

Also it has to be reprocessed regularly to keep the charge from dissipating. If you keep that much in memory it will have to keep reprocessing 3GB. After about 1.5GB you will not notice much of a performance gain.
