ESXi 5.1 Essential :- What is the Physical RAM Limit on Host ?

From my understanding :-

Free ESxi Hypervisor 4.x :- 256 GB ( I actually have a machine with 64 GB running free 4.1 and it accepts it )

Free ESxi Hypervisor 5.x :- 32 GB :- Seriously ???

ESxi Hypervisor 5.x Essential :- ??? (No limit ?) <--- Is it unlimited ? or limited ?

Can anyone answer the last question please ?

Thanks

With vSphere 5 the only limitation is for the free edition, which only allows up to 32 GB physical memory. The other physical limits have been removed.
