    To be fair, the computer is listed as having 500GB memory which is pretty insane

        I was like 99% sure you were wrong because the 32 bit versions were limited to 4gb but looking up and yeah all the versions of 7 have a ram cap the depending on which SKU you were running. 192gbs was the max for 64 bit professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate. This is the full list for just Windows 7.

        • Windows 7 Starter 32-Bit 2GB
        • Windows 7 Home Basic 32-Bit 4GB
        • Windows 7 Home Basic 64-Bit 8GB
        • Windows 7 Home Premium 32-Bit 4GB
        • Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit 16GB
        • Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit 4GB
        • Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit 192GB
        • Windows 7 Enterprise 32-Bit 4GB
        • Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit 192GB
        • Windows 7 Ultimate 32-Bit 4GB
        • Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit 192GB

        The top SKU for Windows Server 2008 r2, which was the server counterpart of Windows 7, supported up to 2tb of RAM.
