It is all the motherboard, not really the chip, that decides. 4 Gig of RAM is
absolutely possible. I know there is at least one kernel developer who has 6
gigs (to try out the recent big mem patches). I think I've heard that NT is
supposed to handle 64 gigs (??).

Hope that was unclear enough for ya.
