Newest AMD vs intel i7

Memory Limit in 64-bit Windows

User-mode virtual address space for each 32-bit process:
2 GB with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWAR E cleared (default)
4 GB with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWAR E set

User-mode virtual address space for each 64-bit process:
8 TB with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWAR E set (default)
2 GB with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWAR E cleared

Kernel-mode virtual address space:
8TB

The virtual address space is not the physical address space.

The following table specifies the limits on physical memory for Windows 7.

Version	32 bit	64 bit
Ultimate	4GB	192GB
Enterprise	4GB	192GB
Professional	4GB	192GB
Home Premium	4GB	16GB
Home Basic	4GB	8GB
Starter	2GB	N/A

The process size numbers you have are correct.  My bad for not looking and going from memory.  Thank you.

Here is the public link to Microsoft's MSDN page explaining  the various memory configurations.

The virtual address space is not the physical address space.

I know, I listed virtual address space because discussion went into application/process memory limit on windows, which I think is more relevant than physical memory limit.

Anyway, current desktop hardware limits are even lower - typical 32GB (or less) for Intel CPU platform.

I believe the 4GB in the 32 bit versions includes the video memory. So if you have 4Gig of ram you will only get 3Gig and change used.

it looks like AMD will be releasing a FX-4200 processor which features 4 cores and 4 modules (no shared integer modules in this one). This CPU could be pretty decent for Aces high I reckon !

AMD has  fx 4270, have not seen any reviews.

I meant floating point and not integer...

yeah I've seen various reports, but no test yet
