now comes my question.
it's been said to me that windows xp can and will onlyi support up to 2 gigs of ram. now this kind of saddens me because i'd much rather have 4 gig in there (after it's all said and done).
is this true? i don't feel that it is, it seems kind of weird that they would put together a motherboard that supports it but sets up an os that doesn't.
thanks in advance!
