I'm typing this on a windows PC with 192GB ram. 64GB RAM LIMIT? WHY OH WHY? it is 2013. 64GB is not enough for many serious tasks.

'Cos Bill said that 64k would be enough for anyone a while back. (Out of interest what serious tasks do you find require that much RAM? )

  I'm stitching and rendering very large gigapixel images: http://360gigapixels.com/tokyo-tower-panorama-photo/ http://360gigapixels.com/tokyo-tower-panorama-photo/ http://360gigapixels.com/tokyo-gigapixel-roppongi-hills-mori-tower/ http://360gigapixels.com/tokyo-gigapixel-roppongi-hills-mori... http://360gigapixels.com/london-320-gigapixel-panorama/ http://360gigapixels.com/london-320-gigapixel-panorama/ http://www.360cities.net/gigapixel/strahov-library.html http://www.360cities.net/gigapixel/strahov-library.html Both in the rendering of the files and in the post production using Photoshop, I utilize all the RAM, and regularly use up to 1 terabyte of scratch disk. I guess video editing, 3d work, and other image manipulation stuff also can benefit from this much RAM.

    Extremely cool images! I found myself looking for the BT Tower in London... it took me a minute or so to get my bearings and realise that that's where the pictures must have been taken from!

curious about the pc - was it custom built? just interested in the other components you chose.

  Please complain. Complain loudly. Flip tables and announce "I CAN'T WORK WITH THIS SHIT". Or just shell out $60 (or whatever) for an 8 or 16 GB memory kit yourself.

>it is 2013. 64GB is not enough for many serious tasks. Pretty sure the Mac Pro only has 4 DIMM slots and I don't think 32GB DDR3 modules are available.
