    Hello,

    Newbie here when it comes to OS's. I had a question about Windows Pro vs.Win Premium.

    Do they have a difference when it comes to how each OS accesses RAM, or the amount of RAM each is compatible with? I know 32 bit OS's can do 4 gig and 64 can do more, but I've seen that some gig require Pro/Ultimate. Sorry if this is vague. I don't know how else to explain it.

    Home Premium is capped at 16GB, Pro and Ultimate have a few extra features that most people will never need.

    Is that for your general knowledge or is there an application related to it? If so, stating it might give you a better more precise answer.
