Only 1 and it's worth noting the key locks to the motherboard, which means if buy a new motherboard you'll need to buy a new copy of Windows (although Microsoft can issue a new key if you prove your motherboard died).

Interesting. Is this a new technique? So theres no chance of using the same CD on several PCs in the same household? Someone told me Microsoft can only identify the IP address of the PC and not the actual PC. I dont actually know what im talking about lol. Just getting some clarity. Do the keys lock on motherboards with older operating systems such as vista or XP? Figured id actually buy a genuine copy only if i got away with using it on more than one pc in the household.

Mick...the rate its going. New motherboards are accepting 32gb ram from last year and even 64gb.
You are welcome to purchase a product which impose a limit on you mate. It's your choice.
Whereas me I prefer to have limit of ram which my motherboard allows me, or even a bit more. The other versions have 192gb. Hopefully the price of professional will come down when windows 8 gets released.

Only the OEM versions are locked to the motherboard. If you get a full retail version you can switch it between as many pc's as you like. Not sure how happy microsoft would be if you used the same serial on several pc's though.

Motherboards that accept 192GB of RAM are likely server motherboards and pointless for home use, Personally I have 16GB and I've never seen more than 10GB being used (Playing BF3, Downloading music, Listening to iTunes + AVG), yes one day PC's will have 192GB RAM but my guess is Microsoft will have release many more OS before it becomes the norm.
My laptop has 8GB and most applications don't support LGA so most of the RAM isnt being used most of the time.
An OEM license it is tied to the computer it came with, meaning that if the computer can no longer function, for one reason or another, the license goes too. It cannot be transferred to another computer. However, if it's a RETAIL license, you may TRANSFER (not copy) the license to another computer if the original computer becomes disabled or gets decommissioned.
I think this is called an OEM, as it is intended for system builders and comes with hologram stickers, at a discount price, but I thought that was old hat now, I got a copy of win 7 ultimate, by answering a few questions on a Microsoft tech site, that was posted here 2 years ago,
Have software for students stopped supplying Win 7?
I would just install win 8 preview, and see what happens later, their may be a discount to buy a acivation key, when the trial period runs out.in a years time.

That's not my experience.
I recently had to replace a 6-week old motherboard but kept the same hard drive and processor. It had Windows 7 OEM 64-bit Home Premium which needed to be re-activated but the on-line activation handled it just fine.

FWIW I have a PC running 64bit W7 with 8Gb ram and another with 32bit W7 with 4Gb ram (using 3.3Gb) TBH I can't see any difference in the extra ram even when using Photoshop!
