Windows 7 - Maximum Supported RAM is 192 GB
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 27.4.2009
Tip: Click here to update all your PC's outdated driversWindows 7 will take the maximum amount of supported system memory well beyond the limits of Windows Vista.
In this regard, the high-end edition of the upcoming Windows client will play nice with just a tad short of 200 GB of Random Access Memory. At the same time, Windows 7 has been designed to work under normal parameters starting with as little as 1 GB of RAM, in order to fit onto cheap and resource-constrained netbooks. However, given proper hardware, namely if the mainboard can handle increased amounts of system memory, Windows 7 Ultimate is ready to swallow no less than 192 GB of RAM.
This is of course valid for 64-bit versions of the next iteration of Windows, running on top of x64 CPUs, according to WinSuperSite. As far as the 32-bit editions of Windows 7 are concerned, the limit continues to be 4 GB of RAM. However, even if Windows 7 correctly reports all 4 GB of RAM installed on a machine, the 32-bit versions of the platform will not be able to address all of it.
x86 architectures have a limited address space, just 4 GB in total, and they have to fit all hardware components, leaving at maximum just 3.5 GB, but more in the vicinity of 3.3 GB for RAM. As you can see in the screenshot accompanying this article, my 32-bit Windows 7 Build 7100 Ultimate is only able to address and use 3.37 GB of RAM out of the total 3.5 GB installed. This limitation is valid for all editions of Windows 7 32-bit.

what kinda job does one do to deserve almost 200 gigs of ram? honestly, i'm asking? what
processor do you need for these capabilities... good grief
maybe all that ram will be for crysis 3!
10 years ago exactly the same questions were asked about 4gb ram!
i still
remember my first 10mb hdd. "wow"
i think
glad to read this since my system just got some nice babies called 128 gb ram ... and boy
it runs like hell
so microsoft sold us a blotted, fat-assed vista (view) of our future what's it gonna
cost us for their fix of their (windows 7) problem?
my work has several aix frames with upwards of 128gb of ram.
on the other hand
i have seen them build servers with 64gb of ram and then put windows 2003 32 bit on them
!! the work stupid comes to mind!
osx2 10.5.7 ram limit is 2tb, microsoft's win7 only 198gb ???, i ready to put 512gb on
my prototype array pc, in only 2 o 3 years, this is comun use, is the limit to consume the
win 8, and 9 and 10, microsoft's think we are stupid ????
microsoft's do the
job, good job, or pay for the consecuenses
using the above information, we can conclude that the average federation, romulan,
klingon, cardassian, or jem'hadar warship is capable of approximately 2000c cruising
speed, with high-end ships being capable of 3000c, and a handful of exceptional vessels
being capable of roughly 6000c. this is, of course, insignificant compared to the speed of
hyperdrive which ranges into the millions or tens of millions of times c, but it
nevertheless represents a significant improvement over previous efforts from the
federation. so i must concede that i'm going to have to fork out the heaps of transformer
credits and get the minimum 198 gb to achieve higher cruising speeds.
or , maybe just invest some of those hard earned transformer credits on perfecting a
better cheese burger and start my own mcdonalds restaurant with all the trimmings
