Then why have I heard people say that 32 bit XP regognizes as much as 3.5 GB on some systems?

So,  XP  Vista, you Lose some ram. due to accessories.  Depending on the system, you can lose a lot. Have you made any 'TWEAKS' in windows???

Reading up on it, it appears that Vista (in their uberest knowledge) decided to lower the limit in their operating system to 3.12GB in order to avoid conflicts. I believe what I said holds true for other 32bit platforms, though.


I believe XP prior to SP2 and windows 2000 could handle a full 4GB of RAM - they do this by working with the motherboard to have the address space of some of the RAM remapped above the 4GB boundary. I think they were having conflicts above 4G. I am not sure with your statement on Vista. I do not use it but I think vista does address more than 4G.

64bit Vista will address in excess of the 4 (or in this case 3.12) gigabyte cap, but by definition a 32bit OS cannot handle more than 4GB of systemwide memory.

I don't believe he has 64 bit. I think the ram debate is dead.
