how many GBs can a computer hold?

Question

really want to know

Answer 1

GB of what? ( e.g. RAM, hard drive space)?

If you're running a 32-bit operating system, you will only be able to address 32-bits of memory at a time. Multiply that out and you get 4GB, but when you take into consideration the memory reserved for video RAM and bios space, you won't be able to hit all 4GB.

If you want to put in more than 4GB of RAM you will need a 64 bit operating system.

Answer 2

Thats kind of a trick question.
For a 32-bit Operating System, it can only address something like 4gb, but some of the memory address is used for windows so you only get to USE something like 3.2gb .But you really could have 4 gb in your computer. (do you see the difference).
Now if you have 64 bit OS you can go way higher then that! So much higher you probably can't put that much RAM in your computer!

Answer 3

It also depends on the type of motherboard in the computer, some limit the amount of memory you can install as well as the type. Read the documentation that came with the computer or look the motherboard up online. If you are talking about hard drive space, that mostly depends on how big of a hard drive you want to buy and how much money you want to spend up to Terabyte size.

Answer 4

if u have a 32 bit system u can hold 4gb and u will be able to use 4gb not 3.2 and all that load. if u have a 64bit system u and hold 8gb

Answer 5

It all depends of your computer
