Usually 4 GB is the maximum in most recent consumer computers -- although 32 bit Windows can recognize only 3.5 GB or less of the total.

Some machines (Intel i7 based machines, Macs, Xeon based workstations) can take more than 4 GB of RAM if they have a 64 bit operating system (Windows XP64, Vista 64, OSX, Linux) but the motherboard memory controller must be able to support RAM over 4 GB as well as the OS.
