Well a 64 operating system supporting 128GB of RAM is a theoretical limit. It also depends on your version of operating system. Different versions of XP, Vista and Win7 have different RAM limits. Of course, as you mentioned, you can only fit 8 GB of SO-DIMM RAM in your laptop.

Actually, if you really want to go into the deep theoretical design stuff, Win XP 64 bit can support 32TB of RAM.

You can check your OS theoretical RAM Support here.
