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

wait. what? are you sure? I mean, theorectically, a 64-bit operating system should be able to recognize 263 bytes of RAM (9.2x1018 or 9.2 exabytes of ram). I can understand putting some sort of limit on it, but 16GB seems a little riduculously low..

What home user would realistically use more than 8GB? The professional market is different, hence the different ram support.



Do you know what its like to live on the far side of Uranus?
