WinXP Pro can support up to 4 gigabytes of memory. Your
motherboard (bios+chipset) might be a limiting factor, but
for that amount of memory, the operating system should be
fine. If you have a brand name computer you may need your
local techie/computer wiz to figure out what your mobo will
accept. I have seen many brand name PCs that said they would
take XX amount of memory as a maximum, but fell far short.
