Hi Jari--
It depends...Mac Pro's (the old cheese graters with a good intel
processor) max out at 32...iMacs max out at 16...Mini's at 4
Hope this helps.

A related question: How much memory is maximum on the Mac desktops?
I'm thinking of buying a new computer and the largest Windows
machines seems to be at 16 GB.
Best regards,

it's finally time to put the mac mini to rest. wondering of anyone
has any comments about these configs. i'm trying to figure out
what is my best option for price, power, portability and
functionailty.
working with F2010 these days and the only other hogs i run are
photoshop (from time to time) and dreamweaver (well, not really
that heavy an app). i.e. i don't usually do any real heavy graphic
work. and i'm moving around quite a bit in recent years, although
usually for extended periods, so i bring monitor with me.
base models and price of upgrading to 4G / 500 GB HD / applecare
(end of message is same in more detail):
macbook 13.3" 2.26 GHz 1375 EUR
macb pro 13.3" 2.26 1670
macb pro 13.3" 2.53 1785
macb pro 15.4" 2.53 2085
i'm considering the 3rd option, since i have a very new 24"
viewsonic so am thinking the 13" might be sufficient for portable /
on the road work. i imagine for all "real" work i will work at
home, but i have never owned a laptop so am unsure how my working
habits might change. 1st is not worth considering unless they put a
firewire port in it.
a few suggestions from friends have been: buy memory somewhere
other than apple to save a few bucks; don't buy through apple store
to save even more bucks; if you can afford the 15" the improvement
in visuals is important (but 500g heavier and larger to transport).
