re: How big a RAM can be used for a 32-bit OS Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at 8:11 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by AndyP (506 messages posted) i beg to differ about the 2GB limit, as what the previous poster just stated. but a 32-bit XP system can still recognize and use RAM up to 3GB. i can personally vouch for it from experience. so even if you plug a 4GB or higher stick, a 32-bit system will only detect 3GB, nothing more. the unused part is practically only going to waste, not unless you convert the excess bandwidth as part of a RAM disk.
