Windows XP 32 bit can only use 3GB of RAM, it can't conceive of more so there
isn't a whole lot of point in having it EXCEPT, I've seen lots of cases where
the motherboard was more comfortable having all the RAM match. Specifically we
had a system certified for video editing years ago that absolutely required 4x
1GB sticks otherwise it would blue screen. Weird but true.

Thanks Curt. I checked it out and they suggest 4 2GB modules, though my
manual says the system will only support 4GB total RAM. I will probably do
the 2 1GB upgrades to 4GB total, but probably won't try the "possibly
compatible" 8GB upgrade - too much $ for me anyway, especially now with the
tweaks making what I have work so much better.
