I installed a £4.7k machine a month or so again, I think it was a HP workstation with that nutty intel CPU but I'm that ungeeky now I barely looked.

"Can't afford it so I'm not interested."


Here's one I can't fathom:
Windows 7 Pro: 192Gb
Server 2008 Std: 32Gb
SBS 2011: 32Gb.

The desktop o/s supports more RAM than the server o/s does unless you go enterprise..

Quite simple really, MS put a hefty tax on you using memory, it's written into the operating system. If they chose to they could very easily free it up so you can use any amount up to the 64 bit limit. By preventing you using that memory they hope that a few high end users will go for the higher version of windows 7.

Windows 7Home basic 64 is capable of using just 8GB

But soopah you're forgetting that clocked edits high def video, creates multiple massive masterpieces in photoshop simultaneously as well as playing swtor, diablo3, crysis and solitaire at the same time the man has a 3tb page file!

People that shut stuff down aren't working hard enough

Actually when I installed Windows I wondered where all my SSD space had gone - 32GB pagefile! I Soon got rid of that!

I've not done much today M3ta7h3ad but already have 8GB committed to RAM, 24GB still free to play with though

Lol pure mental amounts of ram
