Ralph,

XP Home Edition and Pro both have a 4gb limit.
Home Edition: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q306824

Pro Edition: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q286463

One thing MS should have put in the memory limit for XP 64 bit is the 
minimum requirement which is 1 gig, good thing the Itanium isn't selling so 
well.  I'll wait for AMD's Sledgehammer
