It should still read all 4 GB in the system properties tab but any memory usage tool will only show whats left open after the video card, sound card, chipset, and processor allocate their memory.

thats it?That’s all a 32-bit OS knows how to use. The limit of 32-bit is 2^32 of memory.
There are some rare exceptions to this but none that regular desktops can take advantage of.

go buy vista 64./thread
Don’t even need to buy another copy for some. Vista Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate can install 64-bit with the 32-bit keys.
Legal copies of Windows work so much better. They don’t, however, have the “added bonuses” that many pirates like to include with their “volume license” cracked copies. Added bonuses such as backdoors, trojans, and keyloggers.
Vista Business is NOT that expensive:

Neither is Ultimate:

180………For what you get, it’s worth it.
Especially considering it’s not much more than XP Pro was when I bought it.
Good Point, but i have legitimate Win Xp. I know where to get real cd keys.
Any ways, can some one tell tme the dirffrence between the disk when it says “for system Builders”…
ty
OEM disks have “For system builders” on them because they are designed to be pre-installed on a computer sold to someone else. They are the same as the regular Retail versions but do not include 2-3 free support incidents with Microsoft like the Retail versions do. Since most techies aren’t going to bother asking them anyway it doesn’t matter if you don’t get direct support from Microsoft.
Where did you get the CD and key?
XP serial keys are tied to specific install cds. Retail keys have to be used with retail CDs, volume license keys with VL CDs, and OEM keys with OEM CDs. Most pirated keys do not list what type they are and those that do are typically wrong, IE they say volume license but it’s really a retail key designed to be used with a cracked install CD.
