Whats the max memory an Opteron/A64 can use?

[JavaMomma]

32bit = about 4 Gigs
64bit = about 16.7 Billion Gigs, I think?

But can the Opteron/A64 use all that (I know there arent any boards, just theoretically)

U can use like anyram as long as mobo supports it

Yep, the theoretical max is 16.7TB of RAM for 64 bit architecture...

cool

Accually I made a mistake...its really: 18,446,744,073,709,551,616

GB (giga byte)
TB (tera byte)
PB (peta byte)
EB (exa byte)

18.4 EB

Good. I'll have to pick up a stick of 512PB DDR Ram.

The practical limit for most motherboards it 16GB though, since they don't make DRAM in larger capacities.
