My 4 years old mid range CPU and motherboard supports 32GB.

Linux does copy-to-ram for at least decade (Slax, Knoppix...).

Toshiba Portege Z30 supports 16GB RAM, in theory it handles 32GB RAM. I am waiting for new version with Skylike and retina.

Amen, for linux's copy-to-ram!

I use the Slitaz distribution on my old Compaq computer from 1999, and wow! Even with only 384 MB of RAM, the system is blazing fast, all thanks to copy-to-ram!
