This question is unlikely to ever help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

It depends on how you define computer. And how you define RAM. And whether you are asking about theoretical limits (back 2008 the "next" version of OSX could address 16Terabytes of RAM, of course there's not an application where that actually occured due to hardware limitations) or physical limits.

A climate prediction super computer in Germany apparently has 20TB of RAM.
