    From what ive read you can only have your computer recognize ~3.3gb if you are running windows xp 32bit. I installed 4gb and i can only get 2.5gb to show up. Can someone help me with getting that a little higher. Ive tied to manipulate the setting under virtual memory to no avail.

    Thank you
