Windows Memory Limits - mothered - 03-31-2012
Greetz to all,
So let's say you have a lappy with 16GB of ram (Like me), and have the x64 architecture Installed to support the ram's capacity. That'll be fine yeah? Wrong. Different editions of Windows 7 have different memory limits, hence the less superior 64 Bit editions, may not support the Installed ram.
This also applies Vista.

That's a marketing tactic of theirs. It would be more believable if it were to be an entirely separate kernel that allowed for more memory. But, instead it's simply a version upgrade...
I believe Linux is being used with up to 32 TB of memory space atm... Only restrictions are your hardware limitations.
