    I guess everybody know that XP supports only 2Gb of memory, but what if you need more, would Windows Server 2003 will handle more? I guess it should...

    Did anybody had this problem?

    XP (32bit) supports 4GB, but because it reserves some addressing space for PC parts, you can only get about 3-3.5GB of RAM available. There is no 2GB limit.

    If you are trying to use more than 2GB but cannot, you need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

    The 945 chipset will only support about 3gb of RAM. You can install 4gb of RAM, but in the OS you will only see about 3gb there.
