Whatever My Computer shows, the virtual address space of processes and applications is limited in XP to 2 GB, unless the /3GB switch is used in the boot.ini file. Depending on how applications are written, the /3GB switch can make a marginal difference to performance, although this is all rather academic and I don't mean to make more of these limits than they deserve !
