Most modern processors are 64 bit, so they're capable of addressing ridiculously large amounts of memory if the OS is also 64-bit ... the practical limits are really "what sizes of memory modules are commercially available", "how many memory modules will physically fit into the computer", and "how much can you afford".
Theoretically with 64 bits it's possible to address up to 16 exabytes of memory. This would be over a billion 16 GB DIMM modules. So you don't need to worry about hitting the limit any time soon.
If the OS is only 32 bit ... for desktop machines, Windows XP was the first version of Windows for which 64 bit was really an option, and Vista was the first version where it was at all common ... then the maximum memory size is just 4 GB (and in practice the actual usable memory will probably be less, because the upper part of the memory address space is usually used for other purposes).

Is an intel r core i3 CPU good for fallout new vegas?
That CPU is sufficient for Fallout: New Vegas. Generally any decent multi-core processor will suffice. What is of importance however is the amount of memory or graphics card your machine has.
What are characteristics of second generation of computer?

What is the meaning of core memory?
Core memory refers to computer memory that consisted of magnetic cores. This memory is now obsolete and is replaced by semiconductor memory known as main memory.
What are the core points of the computer?
A computer "core" was a type of computer memory.
What core processor has extended memory?
All of the processors shown have extended memory.
What are used for core dump analysis?
a core dump is a snap shot of the memory when the program hung or crashed. it usually contains details like the program counter the stack pointer the program state etc. On a unix like machine the core dump can be used to debug the errors and the tool used is GDB

What is maximum degeneracy for helium?
Once the amount of mass in the helium core reaches about 8% of the star mass (the Schonberg-Chandrasekhar Limit), the density becomes so high that the core no longer acts like a perfect gas. It becomes degenerate.
What is the maximum front side bus FSB speed of an Intel Core 2?
The maximum FSB speed of an Intel Core 2 Duo processor is 1066MHz. Note: This is for the Core 2 Duo line only. Intel Dual Core CPU's differ.
What is the core of the operating system that manages memory?
kernel
Which is more desirable i3 processor and 6GB memory or i5 processor and 4GB memory?
Memory is more important than the type of processor. Unless you are about to run programs like photoshop or premier pro or in Apple's case, Final Cut Pro, then you probably want the Core i5. A memory upgrade is easy and it is cheap. Do it yourself instead of letting the factory install it for you. It will save you a good amount of money. But for most people, Core i3 with 6 GB of memory is better. For more answers like this, go to jamesrealtech.com
