ohGrFreak ID.10T Messages 1,657 Location Midwest in tha houzze Mar 8, 2008 #5 I have heard that the readable number fluctuates between 2.75-3.75 using 32bit XP. Here's my question though: Even though XP might not read the full 4 gigs, are you still using it, or is it worthless to have that much unless you have a 64 bit OS?
