Nope. No 32-bit OS can address that much RAM. Also, Windows uses the same pool of memory addresses for both main system RAM and the graphics RAM on your videocard, further reducing the amount of system RAM 32-bit OS's can use.HereComesPete wrote:I thought all types of xp were capable of 4.

So how much can the OS address? If you had a coupla gig of system ram, and a 1Gb gpu, would the 1Gb gpu ram be a waste of time that impacted on the system ram's performance?

usually 3.3Gb-ish, I think, but that number goes down the more hardware you have (even if it's just usb devices)

Yup, not only did he waste a fuckton of money on a laughably poor card, it'll slow his machine down notably, not to mention that the ATI cards are barely capable of using 512mb of onboard memory properly, the extra 512 is dead weight.
