Re: 4GB of RAM WinXP x32

Will having this much ram slow my system, than having it run faster?

I ask because I know I would have to have an x64 OS to recognize
the full 4GB. I have a Dell XPS 400 running Windows XP MCE x32.

If you weren't even close to using whatever amount of memory you had
originally, it's not going to speed it up either. ;-)

I think it only came with 1GB.

As I said - your system will not run any slower if you have 4GB of memory
and a 32bit Windows Consumer-based OS. It just won't *show* that you have
4GB nor will the OS use it all.

Do you do a lot of video editing? Heavy duty databases? Massive graphics
editing?

If no - then the 4GB is likely not going to help you anyway... as you likely
do not even fully use the 1GB it came with.
