    I don't mean cores. I mean sockets.
    I know XP was only licensed for up to 2 sockets.

    Windows 7 Home systems supports 1 physical CPU, the other two editions support 2 physical CPUs.

    I don't have a link off the top of my head, but home premium supports up to 16GB of RAM. The other versions, I believe support up to 128GB. (more than the average machine can actually slot)

    All versions other than Starter support both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.
