Maximum memory is determined by whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit system architecture. My guess is you have 32-bit because I think I've only seen 64-bit versions of XP in the Pro series. You can get Vista or Win 7 home editions with 64-bit systems. The maximum memory in a 32-bit system is calculated as 2 times the 32nd power minus 1. You are basically limited to 4 GB, although in practicality, Windows won't recognize more than about 3.5GB. 64-bit systems are almost unlimited, I've seen 16GB and I am sure you could theoretically get more but don't know of any that have any more than that.
