Maximum Heap Size

I go through this every year or so - why is it so hard to find out what the maximum memory that can be used for each JRE?

My very simple question is "what is the maximum amount of memory that my application can use?"

Ideally someone has found this elusive table that would at least report the value for each JRE version and platform that it is supported.

My most immediate question is "what is the maximum RAM that can be addressed for a 64-bit Windows environment?" I have a test application and it seems to blow out at around 2.35 GB.

The next question is "what, if any, differences are there in running a JRE on Intel vs. AMD processors using Windows 64-bit?
