That's the general rule anyway.
The limit isn't to do with the fact it's a quad core or anything like that, it's all in the number of bits.

This much is true. But you must remember that Vista's kernel is a resource hog, most other OS's will be able to hold any amount of RAM if they have a fast enough processor.
