New Pc - RAM Question.

[Coldplay]

I have 4GB of ram, but will be running windows XP, I'm told that it only recognises 2GB, Is there any way around this? or is it still able to use 4GB.

[Jordy]

I'm not too sure but I believe it's the core of the Operating System and it manages the memory using a few simple maths calculations so it theoretically is not possible.

Perhaps an upgrade to Windows Vista 64-bit is in order?

[Robbie]

Doesnt XP 64bit support it?

[Kevin]

64Bit will pick up 4gb of ram

[Coldplay]

How do I obtain said software?

[Robbie]

You can download buy it from all good warez boards or torrent sites shops

Purchase it, when you buy OS's theres 64 bit and 32 bit, you no doubt ahve 32 bit which only recognises up to like 3.5gb ram, 64 bit recognises alot more
