OK, you are talking about maximum memory size, not about maximum bootable
primary partition, which is Patrick's question.

I know NTFS has a Limit. I read that NTFS 5 has a 2TB Limit but that i don't
know if it is true. i would assume that the max size would be the limit of
the space the file system allows you (since no single hdd for the public is
near 2TB yet) that size would be all of it. not sure if that is right
though.

I also depends on the edition of Windows x64 you are using, the 2TB limit is
possibly for Server 2003 x64.

With all that being said. I have a 300 gig hard drive. So I can use the
entire drive as the boot partition without having to split the drive into
virtual peices?

You can use the entire drive in a single partition instead of multiple
partitions. Virtual "pieces" are different than partitions. Partitions
are physical layouts on the drive surface. Page files, although they do
take up physical space, are often referred to as "virtual memory."
