The current is DDR3. The max size is at 4GB.

Upcoming is DDR4, the first was made during the first of the year, but is still having the bugs worked out of it.

Since we're talking about RAM, can I ask for confirmation here.
Is it true that 32-bit OS can only support up to 4GB RAM max?

I'm pretty sure the max size can go higher than that. (Seen some boards with 32 and 64GB of ram).

Actually, I believe its 3gb. I have an Acer laptop with 8gb of ddr3 ram and upon an accidental install of windows 7 32 bit, I was only able to use 2.98gb of ram.

I guess I have to make a longer explanation then.
On a 32bit system you have a limit of addressable memory which is 2^32 or 4GB. In a Windows system RAM and some other memory (GPU, SPU, System) share the same address space, so all of them together can only be 4GB. This factually limits you to something between 2.5GB and 3.2GB.

To fix this there are two possible methods:
1. Address space extension. Only supported by a few (server) operating systems.
2. Switch to a 64bit system. Here the limit is 2^64 or 16 EB. It's further limited in Windows though - 7 Home has a 16GB threshold, Professional and Ultimate make do with 192GB.

The next Intel High End Chipset x78 will support 32GB along quad-channel support. Might be my next rig.

Unfortunately, not many game/software(currently) can run on 64-bit, or the other way around.

Don't make such a bold statement if you haven't tried it yourself mate, pretty much listening to the morons and the dumbasses will turn you into one of them, just saying.
