WinXP harddrive and memory capacity

Also I would like to know if there is a limitation on harddrive size in terms of gigabytes. For instance will it handle a terabyte or should I stay with 400 or 500 gigs. Possible limitations are 1) OS - WinXP SP3 x32 limits address space to 4GB on purpose. Proper usage of PAE, would have made larger address spaces possible. True, but PAE is a kludge. Microsoft's server systems implement it but not the client systems. Now, with 64-bit hardware and software readily available there's no reason to mess with PAE. -- Tim Slattery http://members.cox.net/slatteryt |
