Is there a different RAM limit for XP home than for XP professional?
Also I thought there were nothing greater than 1024MB for RAM modules
and no motherboards with more than 4 RAM slots. Hence the XP limit
shouldn't matter yet, or I'm not updated on this?
Do you know what is the limit would be in Vista?
I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I just got curious.
