What is the max system memory for XP 32 bit, and does all other memory on the board, including Video card memory reduce the max?

4 GB minus everything else like the video card, etc. Depending on your hardware, that leaves 2.5-3.2 GB available.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I'm a member of another tech sight and the fools there just don't get this, even when I post a half dozen links. I needed to find some that knows what they are talking about.

You can put 4GB in put Win XP32 will only recognize 2.75GB.

I know, I tried it.

It all depends on your hardware boris. Check out the 2nd post.

I've got 4G of RAM and XP 32 bit and it sees 3.25G of RAM. This is the max it'll see.
