how much ram does 64 bit XP detect?

1- I only know that some mobos support up to 32gb

2- I dont need food I got my ho-ho right here

heres proof

not a mobo the XP OSunrealplaya55

i read on a previous forum that it can support up to a terabyte. but like the guy before me said, theres only a mobo that supports 16gb. so yea..... but come on....theres no need for that kind of stuff...

32gb

i guess i wrote my words wrong.

ok you know how 32 bit vista cant detect 4 gigs of ram like 64 bit can?

well does 64 bit XP accept 4 gigs or 2 gigs of ram

unrealplaya55

yes

4 or 2?

i have a problem with those answers for some reason.lol

wow....lets try this again...lol...it ACCEPTS a terabyte....ok? but motherboards only support 16gb(thx trooper for correcting me). so unless you desperatly need that much ram for what ever fetish you participate in, your gonna be fine....

lol I actually only found it out now and I have no fetish >=[

why the **bleep** do you need 128 gigs of ram?unrealplaya55

i told you....it's a fetish...and from the looks of things, it's become verywide-spread....

ha, nah thats a little different...but your on the track....

This thread is a little confusing. You want to know how much RAM 64-bit supports, right? That has nothing to do with the mobo, even if it does limit the amount of RAM you can use, but 64-bit still supports more. If you want the exact number:

18,446,744,073,709,551,616 bytes.

It might look big, but I bet it will be considered an average amount of RAM to have in XX years.

To clarify that magic number... The amount of ram an architecture supports is limited to it's memory adressing capability. A 32 bit instruction set has 32 bits with which to address memory blocks (which each hold a byte). Therefore a 32 bit machine can adress 2^32 different memory blocks which is 4,294,967,296 bytes. If you divide this number by 2^30 then you get your answer in gigabyes.

32-bit architecture supports 4 GB

With a 64 bit architecture you now have 64 bits for which to address memory. 2^64 is 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 bytes. If we divide that number by 2^30 we have our answer in GB. Divde by 2^40 and we have terabyes

64-bit architecture supports 17,179,869,184 GB which is 16,777,216 TB which is 16 exabytes.

This isn't to say this is what windows supports as they probably have all kinds of limits and other allocations going on.

Windows XP 64-bit supports up to 128GB physical ram.Gog

correct, after that you start to run into kernel limitations.

large amounts of ram (16-32gb) really isn't all that uncommon on the server side of things.

I bet its the same as regular XP, but i'm not sure._Margulis_

No its not 32bit is 4gb, 64bit is 128gb

[QUOTE="_Margulis_"]I bet its the same as regular XP, but i'm not sure.musclesforcier

No its not 32bit is 4gb, 64bit is 128gb

i thought 32bit was 3.5 gb, but i might be wrong...

It only detects 4GB. If you have a video card with 0.5GB (512MB) of RAM, there will only be 3.5GB left.

why the **bleep** do you need 128 gigs of ram?unrealplaya55

cause it looks pretty...?

Dude that is crazy for your first post.

If Windows can't recognize the ram, it won't use it either.

Even if Windows correctly recognizes all the ram, doesn't mean it will fully use it.

For example, Windows 32-bit has a limit of 2 GB per process, meaning that a game won't use more than 2 GB , even if you 4 GB installed. Having more than 2 GB only allows other applications to run alongside the game without them taking up part of that 2 GB that could be used for the game instead.

well then if i want to be using photoshop and 3ds max and autocad whenever i am running my game on my 4 screens then i will need all that ram. right?

tell me and ill give you a cookie,cupcake,or little debbie snack.unrealplaya55

a 32 bit System could adress (use) up to (2)^32 = 4.294.967.296 bit of memory >~ 4Gig

a 64 bit system could adress (use) up to (2)^64 = 18.446.744.073.709.551.616 bits ~ 17.2 billion Gigs, 16.8 million TB
