I'm still having a hard time choosing between Win 7: home vs pro. for home purpose computer.



I thought I read Win 7: home limits you to 16gb of RAM anf pro 192gb?



I assume this is the amount of RAM you put in your MOBO?



Other then then this and the encryption thing with Win 7. Does anyone realy see an advantage to using Win 7 pro. for home use? Or just buy the home premium?
 
The thing is unless you are running a server motherboard that has more than 4 memory slots, the most memory you can have is 32gb since 4 x 8 is 32. 8 gb is more than enough for about 90 percent of computer users. If you plan on editing video and cad work or something similar then 16gb or more would be good. So if you just plan on gaming then just get 8 or 16gb.
 
If you have a system with 16GB or more RAM and/or need to connect to domains then get Pro otherwise Home is fine.

Home has a 16GB limit which includes shared memory between the GPU too.
