Solve : How much RAM does xp home sp2 support? (32 bit)?

Answer»

How much RAM does xp home sp2 support/use?

ThanxIn THEORY it supports 4 GB.
In reality the 32 bit operating systems can't UTILIZE 4 GB of RAM.
You will usually see somewhere between 3 - 3.5 GB if you install 4 GB.So if i put 1 gb more of the same RAM, it will recognize it all?

And foes it MATTER in which port i put it? it aint dual CHANNEL, right?

My mobo has got 4 ram ports, 2 white and 2 blue, currently one 2gb ram stick in one of the white ports.Yes, it should be able to utilize 3 GB.
Different colored memory slots usually indicates that the motherboard supports dual channel RAM.
Since you're not installing a matched pair of RAM you should install the extra 1 GB in the blue slot so the mobo doesn't think it is a matched pair.Allright! Thanx very much Deerpark!
