Running Vista Ultimate 64bit. Curious as to why the capped it at 8GB considering 64bit means you should be able to address what like 16 Terabytes?
I know windows server you can buy the different packages and that will give you options of up to I believe 64GB of RAM.
I'm just curious as to why there is a cap at all if it's capable of reaching 16 Terabytes of Ram. Obviously I've no intention of putting 16TB of ram in here just wondering.
XP lasted atleast 5-7 years I believe. So in 5-7 years I could see the need for 8GB of ram hell Bill Gates once upon a time was quoted 256KB of ram was more than anyone would ever need. Assuming it takes them another 5-7 years to give us another OS this seems a bit odd. Think it will be something they just release an update for... "Here download this patch, it's allow addressing of 16GB" ??
