[Closed] --How Much Memory Does Xp Support?

[Matt]

Me and my dad were building a computer the other day (accually i was but he was just giving me the parts) and i asked him how much memory he's gonna buy me and he say only 512mb because thats the maximum XP supports.

Is that true? or can it support more (like 1gig)?

Thanks.

Dont quote me but i heart there is an easy way to re-format xp or something to make it larger. To be sure search on techtv.com ;) .

Well I have 1g of ram and I know a mate that has 4g.
There is no limit that I know of. As much as your MB can hold.

What your father may have been referring to was your motherboard's memory slot availablity.
The OS wants MEM!
Your MOB may not beable to handle more mem.
