SQL Server 2012 Express Edition - limitations

Question

Hallo. 

Do anybody know which limitations are applied to RC0 (and/or will be applied to the release) of the Express edition of MS SQL Server 2012? 

How will be limited permitted quantity of usable CPU cores, RAM amount and DB size (whether they are increased in comparision with Express edition of SQL2008R2)?

Thanks.

See http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/de-DE/sqlserverexpressde/thread/f2288203-bb52-4493-8a34-df53cbc5d300/#672e413a-ca85-44cd-8253-dc662a9b45d8

 

I have been called a troll for asking that question.

The limitations for SQL Server 2012 Express edition are found here:

It looks like the CPU limit has been bumped up, but the RAM limitation is still the same.
