How much memory does Windows support?
I had a customer recently ask about the memory limits for various editions of Windows, and thought that I would share the answer with everyone (as it took me a little while to find it). As 64-bit drivers are becoming more common from the OEMs, it is more and more tempting to use 64-bit editions of Windows (I just switched from 32-bit to 64-bit on my work computer, and have not yet run into any incompatibilities) J

Although the OS may support such limits, make sure you have the hardware support as well. A number of people have found their machines really don't support 4GB of memory. Why? See http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/archive/2007/03/03/should-you-upgrade-a-system-to-4gb-of-memory.aspxAnonymous
