I have a Motherboard which is an MSI K9SLI Model with an Nvidia 570 chipset and the very latest Bios update V1.40 and have 4GB of Corsair XMS DDR2 Twin Matched Pairs of PC6400 800Mhz Ram, but my PC only recognises 3GB in system Properties can anyone tell me step by step how to get the FULL 4GB to be recognised by windows xp home edition.

The currently 32-bit Windows XP supports an address range of 4GB, but if you install 4GB of RAM it will, by default, only give a 32-bit application half of this. Fortunately, Windows XP Professional SP2 (but not Home Edition) users can add a '/3GB' switch to their Boot.ini file to force their PCs to allocate up to 3GB to programs

You can't !, Windows XP supports up to 2 GB of RAM by design, not more, more of it would be identified incorrectly.

I don't think the OS is compatable! Windows Vista thats coming out the end of the month is I think!
