The maximum random access memory (RAM) installed in any computer system is limited by hardware, software and economic factors. The hardware may have a limited number of address bus bits, limited by the processor package or design of the system. Some of the address space may be shared between RAM, peripherals, and read-only memory.
DDR5 octuples the maximum DIMM capacity from 64 GB to 512 GB. [8] [3] DDR5 also has higher frequencies than DDR4, up to 8GT/s which translates into 64 GB/s (8 gigatransfers/second × 64-bits/module / 8 bits/byte = 64 GB/s) of bandwidth per DIMM. Rambus announced a working DDR5 dual in-line memory module (DIMM) in September 2017.
The DDR4 standard allows for DIMMs of up to 64 GB in capacity, compared to DDR3's maximum of 16 GB per DIMM. [ 1 ] [ 8 ] [ failed verification ] Unlike previous generations of DDR memory, prefetch has not been increased above the 8n used in DDR3; [ 9 ] : 16 the basic burst size is eight 64-bit words, and higher bandwidths are achieved by ...
The best-rated DDR2 memory modules are at least twice as fast as the best-rated DDR memory modules. The maximum capacity on commercially available DDR2 DIMMs is 8GB, but chipset support and availability for those DIMMs is sparse and more common 2GB per DIMM are used. [citation needed] [3]
JEDEC has set standards for the data rates of DDR SDRAM, divided into two parts. The first specification is for memory chips, and the second is for memory modules. The first retail PC motherboard using DDR SDRAM was released in August 2000. [10]
Compared to DDR2 memory, DDR3 memory uses less power. Some manufacturers further propose using "dual-gate" transistors to reduce leakage of current. [10]According to JEDEC, [11]: 111 1.575 volts should be considered the absolute maximum when memory stability is the foremost consideration, such as in servers or other mission-critical devices.

Physical memory eventually caught up with 32 bit limits. In 2023, laptop computers were commonly equipped with 16GB and servers starting from 64 GB of memory, [7] greatly exceeding the 4 GB address capacity of 32 bits.
