What is the Maximum amount of RAM supported by Windows 7?

I think the maximum for any x32 system is 4GB.

Just as 16bit became "old hat" and died out, 32bit will eventually become redundant, as approximately 3.5 gig of ram access on any 32bit system will not cut the cake in the near future on many apps, especially high-end apps and games.

I went to a 64bit (home built) system about 4 months ago running an intel quad-core processor with 8 Gb of ram on Vista 64 Ultimate, and I have not had any driver issues at all, but I am looking forward to Windows 7.

If you can afford to: never look back!

What is about Physical Address Extension?
It could change the limit if I understand it right.
