No not unless you're using a server which can support it.Is it possible to put 500 GB of Ram in computer?
Look up your motherboards specs, it will list max memory for your platform (32 GB for 4 slots on DDR3 for consumer boards).
There are some swanky server side boards that support RAM in the terabytes such as the below, but you probably wouldn't want to sell your house to afford the whole platform.

Why would you even need all that RAM?

Okay!!
Well, you could do some serious gaming, and you could run like 300 virtual machines at one time(breaking the world record)
and, you could do video editing LIKE A BOSS!!! the possibility's are endless!!!

FPS isn't dependent on quantity of RAM. In fact, ECC RAM is slower than desktop RAM as it has additional parity checks.
That is more dependent on the CPU and/or GPU depending on the application, again the quantity itself doesn't dictate effective speed.
What's your source for this 'record'? We probably have higher than that for density at work (a cloud services provider).

Wow....are you serious? Just stop posting horsecrap like this...
^ This!
Yeah @Grantapus it's always a good idea to do some basic research before you ask a question like this.
Most consumer-grade DDR3 boards made in the past 5 years or so support up to 32GB on the Intel LGA 1155/50/51 sockets and AMD AM3/3+ sockets (though some older boards for Intel LGA 775 or 1156 and AMD AM2/2+ might only support 16GB even if they have 4 bays). The higher-end boards for the Intel LGA 2011 and other enthusiasts sockets can support up to 64GB. With servers with varies.

Well unfortunately, in order to theoretically use 500gb if ram you would have to use a server and server machines only use ECC ram.
You have to because the most you can use in a consumer-grade board is usually 64GB. So you have to use a server which uses ECC RAM.
I have a machine with 256GB of RAM with a pair of E5-2695 v3s. And I don't want to run 300 VMs on it... Besides which I'm fairly sure they don't keep records for VMs running on a single machine. It's a bit silly

YOU DO?! can i see a photo of it plz?
It's called a server
Here's [an image similar to] my DL360 G6, except I have 8 HDD's, dual Xeon E5540's and 72GB of RAM.
R730'S. Nice.

Nah it doesn't have the GPU power.
