Should be the same as the limits for RHEL (32 - 64, depending on 
architecture)

The RHEL restriction is a licensing one only. If you're 4+, you have to 
buy the more expensive support (AS) for updates. If you're 1-2, you can 
buy ES or AS. It's not actively restricted though -- it's just licensing 
terms.
