  Ram Upgrade on Win XP problem

  Posted by Nick Esposito on August 18, 2006 at 2:10 am

  I’ve spent a few bucks and upgraded to a 5gb ram for my system but the properties still read only 2 gig installed.

  Can you help me fix this?

  Thanks!!!!!!!

  Win XP (32-bit) only sees 4GB max. *I think* all 32-bit apps can only see 2GB as standard. There is a 3GB switch you can use to make apps use 3. Don’t think that 5th gig is going to be much use though I’m afraid..I could be wrong! If you’ve got 4 though, you can use 2-3GB for one app and the OS and other open apps will use the rest.

  Hope that helps.

  Depending on the type of RAM you’ve got I could poss take that 5th gig off your hands?
