So will we ever see motherboards with ram built in

Was wondering why we dont see motherboards with built in ram, as it seems memory gives me the most issues when building a new pc, why is it not availaible built into the board itself yet, atleast then it would save us end users getting memory related errors if the board manufacturers actually tested and approved what they use, and surely it would be cheaper to the end user aswell

What if the RAM went wrong? You'd have to throw away a perfectly good mobo just because of that!

I think there was a motherboard from ASUS which was designed for watercooling every component which had the memory and memory waterblocks pre-installed. It never took off though.

edit

it wasn't watercooling, just heatpipes
