Will Windows XP Pro see 4Gb Ram?

[Virdi]

Hi all,

Sorry - I don't remember...

But can I use 4Gb Ram with Windows XP Professional?

Thanks

x86 or x64?

 

[Virdi]

Just normal Windows XP Pro (32 Bit)

 

[MarcLister]

No.

 

[Clarkey]

no, you won't see all of it then.

For me XP x86 'saw' 3.5GB and now I'm using XP x64 it addresses all the 4GB that I'm using

 

[Defiance_co]

Yes you can use 4gig but it won't all show

You'll see something like 3.3gig

Ciao

will it show up the same for XP home edition as well?

 

[Steve2000]

Yes. Home edition does not come in x64 version as far as I'm aware.

Any 32 bit OS will only recognise about 3-3.5 GB.

There is a "fix" for Vista 32 bit, which allows it to see 4GB of ram, *but* it can only see it, and can't use it still.

any 32bit os can only 'see' 3.5 gb max, it's not microsoft trying to limit the user
