    Hey Guys,
    I was just curious as to this question.
    Now I know that 32-bit OS will see a max of 4Gb and 64-bit OS will see up to i think 128GB of RAM. Now my question is: Is that true with all versions of Windows?
    (Or am I confusing Versions and bit-types?)
    Thanks,
    Spock96

    It depends on the edition. This started with XP, 2000 set a precursor of using larger amount of RAM for systems, especially server editions. As for 64 bit, only with the server editions are there ever going to be a need for 128 gb of RAM.
