what can xp use

[ezerider60]

Hi
I know xp can see less than 4gigs of ram 3.25 approx, but is the un-seen mem useable by xp.

Thanks

Ok no answers, so I take it that XP can only use what it can see.
Is there some way to reveal the lost ram?

Thanks

XP has a 3 GByte limit. There is no way to use more than that unless you upgrade to XP64 or any other 64 bit Windows or Linux OS.

sorry for the lack of response, but the answer was posted several times. try using the the forum search feature.

The "unseen" ram is basically wasted. Going from 2gb to 3gb doesn't show much improvement either.

This link is about vista, but it applies to all 32-bit OSes.
