32 bit XP = 4 GB of RAM
64 bit XP = up to 16 terabytes, though few computers can even hold that much RAM.

The maximum amount of RAM seems to be 4 GB. However no real performance gains happen after 2 GB and using more than 3 GB can cause other problems.

Technically speaking there is no "maximum" amount of RAM for XP. The amount of RAM your computer can handle depends upon you processor, motherboard and other computer components.
You can see if your computer can handle more RAM by going to Crucial.com and running a scan.

It's important to note that everything takes RAM. Not only security products (such as active anti-spyware, anti-virus and firewall) eat up memory but your operating system, active browser windows, running applications (such as Word, Gaming, Messenger, Photoshop, etc) and malware all compete for system resources.

For a start up each and all of the solutions right here dont allow you to know something approximately your particularly subject. digital memory has bugger all to do with ram, its all to do including your tensepersistent area, and the website swapping report, if it somewhat is working low on area then what it somewhat is beneficial to do is to purchase yet another HDD and choose abode windows to regulate your digital memory on the newpersistent, on the different hand you could liberate area on your hdd (For optimal overall performance constantly save a minimum of 15% of the entire area loose!) this might confirm your digital memory blunders low message. in case you % to improve your ram, discover out which motherboard is on your gadget and do a google seek, probable finding at approximately 2GB I wouldnt recommend going out and buyin any memory till you know the boards optimal features, in any different case it would desire to be an costly lesson, the board might have a optimal aperture length for memory, and can might desire to be set interior the bios.

Depends on your hardware setup. Most people have between 1 and two gb's of ram. High end computers usually handle 4 gb's.

MS says 4 gigs, but there is a trick to get it over that, you have to edit the boot.ini file
