Of course no gaurantee that you will succeed in finding it locally. You can also get US websites that will forward shit to NZ, giving you a US delivery address (watch for GST of course). There are 28 intel chipset motherboards with 8 memory slots, and co-incidentally 28 with support for 64GB ram. Theres one xeon board with support for 512GB.
