WIN XP and 4 GB of RAM

Comment:

Can you fully use 4 GB of RAM in WIN XP? It appears that WIN XP has 3 GB RAM limit. Is there some way around this? Is anyone fully so that you can use 4 gb?

So it isn't a matter of XP at all. Its hardware manufacturers preemptively using some of that ram for their hardware. More hardware=more ram used. Hmm makes me wonder where this is going...50% ram for hardware? Imagine the power if you knew how to internet search
