Comment:

I know that win xp will only recognize 3.2 gb or so of ram with 4gb installed but I was was curious if anyone has had experience with negative effect on system performance where 4gb was installed and had to actually remove 2gb to get their system to run. Thanks in advance for comments.

I run Windows Vista 64-bit and Windows XP Pro 32-bit on a system with 4GB of RAM. I use the XP-32 installation for media encoding and Vista-64 for everything else.
On my system, XP only recognizes 2.5GB of RAM, but this has never caused any problems with performance and/or stability.
