No problem. For a single process to be able to see it requires that the
operating system be 64-bit, as a 32-bit pointer can only address 4Gb.

But as far as I know I havent seen a RAM having more than 1gig
memory.

You can get 2Gb sticks of DDR2 from Crucial...

...for instance

Neither have I seen a mobo having more than
2 slots for ram [Or am I yet to see things? Let there be light...
please!].

Uh.... oh
Thanks...


What planet are you from, really?

Now that's a mother of a board.

Just look for 'motherboard' in google image search and you'll get the picture.

Taking into account these facts how can a mobo
support 16GB of RAM ?


I saw the picture... wow!
> Now that's a mother of a board.
I second you

Designers with a willingness to provide for more than the
anticipated-at-the-time number of address lines to memory slots? Designers who
read the spec, and dont assume that 640k is all anyone is ever going to need.
Designers who couldnt care less about people like me.
