Memory limits?

I did some research, maybe not enough, but I wonder if there is some limits to how much RAM a deployed game can use?

I have 16 GB of RAM and I know that 8 or more is getting much more common. But still so many games, even 64-bit games, uses no more than 3-4 GB of RAM. Even with SSD it should be a lot less loading time with allocating more data in the memory than constantly exchanging with the hard drive.

So, is there a limit in any way right now, and if so, can it be changed? I would love to use 8 or even more RAM in upcoming projects to reduce loading times.

Due to the large volume of questions and comments concerning the Engine, we did not have a chance to respond to your post at the time you submitted it. However, if you are still interested, the following documentation describes how texture streaming works in UE4, which is the most practical way to reduce load times for your UE4 generated projects:
