Ok but get 3gb, XP isn't going to recognize 4gb, what it will say is 3.10 GB, but its your money, so you decide.

you only need 3gb of ram anyways. not going to notice that much of a difference with above 3gb of ram. just get a good processor.

Ya 32 bit xp will only recognize 3.12 gigs of ram at the most.. If you have lots of stuff installed it can be less.. The use more than that you would have to move up to a 64 bit OS..
