Memory limitations vs. memory limitations

[cmaier]

A little off topic, I know, but relevant given the tons of discussion here on the relative limitations of 4 RAM slots in the quad 2009.

Be glad you are Mac users - Windows 7 64-bit requires you to update to different skews just to get past 8GB (and again to get past 16GB).

I'm surprised MS doesn't charge you dynamically for each byte used.

i find it difficult to imagine a scenario where a user needs or has more than 4gb of ram and does not have at minimum the 'home premium' edition of windows 7...

Why give them the whole byte when you can charge by the bit! 1's are free but those 0's are gonna cost ya!
