the new Intel Core i5 box I built last month can hold 32GB ram (4x8GB),
I put 2x8GB in it. CPU is a I5-3570k, motherboard is Z77 based. 16gb
of fast high grade memory was like US$59
my 2008 vintage Core2Duo box supported 8GB, that was plenty to run a
2-4GB VM as long as you aren't running /too/ much other stuff on the
host OS concurrently. When I bought it, I only put 4GB in it. after
upgrading my desktop system to the i5, I took the core2duo, put 8gb in
it and set it up for my son (a college student), added a SSD as the main
disk, and wow its fast now.
