    OH man I really hate that. I mean I know about it so its cool for me but I get people asking me "why isnt my system using all its memory". And I face palm at microsoft and ask "Are you running 64bit pro version?" and they say no and then I face palm at microsoft again.

    Microsoft has ram limitations as part of the 64 bit versions. Home is 8gb but premium is 16gb. If you have 16gb but not premium windows 7 you have 8gb anyways.

    Windows 8 has hilarious limits though 128(home)/512 gb(pro)...

    128gbs.. looks like a server :P

    Enjoy loading all of your programs into memory at once, and then shortly melting your cpu.
