12 Answers 12. You have to look at sockets and cores per socket. In this case you have 1 physical CPU (socket) which has 4 cores (cores per socket). I have one socket, two cpus per socket, so that would mean a total of 2.
Your Motherboard determines the maximum amount you can install (due to RAM slots available) and Your CPU and Operating System determine how much of that RAM can be utilized. A 32 Bit OS running a 64 bit processor can only utilize a max of 4 GB, regardless of the amount you have installed.
