It was called 72-pin DRAM, or 30-pin DRAM. before that, it was either
chips which held anywhere between 256k and 4M apiece, or propietary RAM
modules, and before that RAM wasn't really something you tinkered with
unless you owned an Apple ][ ;)

If this were 1981 and a 16K chip of static RAM was the best available and cost about $1200 i'd agree. But RAM really is cheap now, so why risk it?
RAM is "really cheap now" only if your system is new or recent.
Even 8-9 year old systems use PC100 and that's still widely available. I can't remember what memory was called before PC100.
