What is the maximum RAM allowed? I have read that it is under 4GB, but there are also some, more than one source, who have mentioned that it is merely a display error and it does utilize RAM above 4GB. I currently have 8GB of RAM, wondering if I should ...

What is the maximum RAM allowed? I have read that it is under 4GB, but there are also some, more than one source, who have mentioned that it is merely a display error and it does utilize RAM above 4GB. I currently have 8GB of RAM, wondering if I should get xp 64 bit instead. I would much rather stay with xp 32 bit.

XP 64-bit is trash. If you do anything, go with Vista or 7 x64.
~3.5GB is usable by programs in 32.

When x64 XP was released, nothing really used x64, so a lot of stuff (better now, but still bad) isn't compatible.

As all the other people have said you will be limited to those 3gbs of ram. Its hard for me to recommend what to do with windows 7s release around the corner. If I were you and didn't need all 8 gigs at the moment. Stick with your xp 32 bit os and you should be fine unless you are a power user. I hope that helps.

xp pro is @@@@ and will only utilise up to 3.5 meg ram and that goes for xp/vista 32 bit so I would go for vista 64 bit or m7 64 as that will recognise all the ram
