If you have a 64-bit machine and a 64 bit version of 7, there's even bigger increase as it can utilize up to almost 8 gigs of ram.

pretty sure it's 16GB for home and 192 GB for professional and ultimate.

Well, I have 8 gigs of ram and Windows 7 only uses 7.75 of it. And who would use 192GB of ram? No motherboard supports that much memory.

XP released almost a decade ago and is still in use today. Back then my computer had 128 MB of memory. Now your computer has 8 GB, thats over 60x as much memory in under 10 years.

While i'm positive we wont see that kind of increase again, it wouldn't be out of this world if people use ten times more memory 10 years from now.

Also it appears 8 GB is the limit for home basic.

Home premium is 16 GB.
