I'm new to Linux and was wondering if it had any limit. Windows has limit 32bit-4GB, 64bit-128GB or so. Does the 32bit version of Ubuntu have a limit?

Every computer system has limits. 232 is 4,294,967,296. (4294967296/(1024*1024)) is 4096 (e.g. 4 GB). However, Linux has (or had) support for PAE which allows for up to 64 GB. At the moment, the limit on 64-bits is around 246 bits, which is 67,108,864 GB (or 64 PB).
