While Edward is technically incorrect, the ceiling is still 4GB total
physical memory:

Note that even though
A 25% higher RAM ceiling is one thing, but it's a far cry from the 64-128GB
the "enterprise target" Windows versions can use (yes, some of them are
32-bit but if you pay the extra $, you are allowed to use more RAM). The
3GB per-process limit is the real factor. But then again, who runs Oracle
on Windows? :)
