I have never used Home but I have XP Pro with over a GB of DDR and it see's all of it.

According to the MSKB, Windows XP can max out at 16GB of memory.

That's insane. I always though it was 4GB.

In most cases (Home version) it is but the server versions I believe handle more. How much ya motherboard can handle is another question. :smokin:

Well, seeing that RDRAM is marginally cheaper than DDR SDRAM in Australia currently, the suggestion isn't as silly as it once used to be ;)

Who cares how much xphome can handle the real question is how much can your MB handle?

My crappy ECS mobo can take upto 3Gb of SDRAM....to bad it dont support DDR or Athlon XPs

While knowing how much your motherboard can handle is a good thing, it is also a good idea to be able to know what the software will accept as well. Remember the old days when anything over 256MB in Win9x would choke the entire OS? I can assure you that most mainboards of this era were capable of at least 1.5 - 2GB.
