I have a 5-year old PC that is humming along just fine using XP SP3. The
board is an EVGA nForce 680i which NewEgg says will support up to 8GB RAM:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188013 however I
have always thought that XP will only "see" 4G RAM> Is this true or will my
board actually see the 8GB RAM with XP SP3? I doubt it will, but just
wanted to throw it out there, see what you guys think.
Currently I have 2 x 1GB DDR2-800 RAM Patriot brand. There are two more
DIMM slots available. Should I toss the 5-yr old sticks and get 2 x 2GB RAM
or just add 2 more 1GB sticks? RAM is cheap enough now that in this case
the cost isn't a major issue.
thanks!
