Upgrading to 16 GB is pretty much useless, as Windows 7 64bit can only use up to 8 GB. It's a problem on my new computer. I can't understand why Windows only can recognize only so much ram.

sounds more like a hardware issue. Windows can regonize a lot more ram than that.

well not the first time i see it, all windows 7 many machines at work could only get to 8gb, maybe its registry problem i don't know.

mine did not have a problem but i have ultimate.

its probably the motherboard, a lot of motherboards limit the amount it can support.

 

edit: nvm, its something to do with the OS

Here are the upper RAM limits for the different editions of Windows 7:

• Starter: 8GB
• Home Basic: 8GB
• Home Premium: 16GB
• Professional: 192GB
• Enterprise: 192GB
• Ultimate: 192GB
