I'm running XP Pro 5.01.2600 SP3
Motherboard: Asus P5W DH Deluxe
Chipset: i975X
Processor: Core 2 Duo E6700 @ 2666 MHz
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT

The motherboard manual says that 4GB may be installed with XP, but not
all
will be
available for user space.
I realize that around 750MB out of the 4GB will be reserved for system
resources, and another 256MB may be taken by each of the graphics cards.
But that should still leave me with more than 2GB of user space?
I have seen reports by others who have successfully increased their user
space by upgrading memory to 4GB.



Check your BIOS to make sure the P5W memory remap feature is
NOT enabled. This for use with a 64 bit OS only. If you enable it
with a 32 bit OS, the useable memory will be restricted to 2GB.

Also, aren't your video cards 512MB, each?
