Hi there...the original poster said he uses Windows XP Home Edition. People
responded saying 'XP can handle 4GB of RAM'. I have been finding conflicting
information on the web and it's extraordinarily difficult to get a straight
answer on the RAM maximum for XP Home. So, I'll ask here and someone please
give me a direct answer, ok? ;)
Can Windows XP --->***HOME***<---- use 4GB of RAM, or is the maximum amount
different from XP Pro?
I only ask because like I said, the web gives conflicting info and I almost
wiped my OS again for XP Pro (after buying XP Home) because I only see 3GB of
RAM with the /3GB switch in the boot.ini. I also read on the Microsoft site
that the /3GB switch wouldn't work with XP Home even though I have it running
this way.
Can someone who knows this info clarify? Is the RAM ceiling for XP HOME
Identical to XP PRO?
