XP Home limits on RAM

[Ron h.]

Although Xp may allow up to 4gb of ram, that doesn't mean
that you need, or will benefit from that much. If you have
a memory hungry application (such as dv editing), that
requires huge amounts of memory, then fine. I believe that
the optimal amount of ram for xp is 1gb. In other words,
after 1gb, memory performance (access) starts taking a
hit, and may well result in slower system performance.
