Windows XP SP3 is 32 bits.
BIOS version 2001.
As far as I know 32h bit windsurfing sees no more than 4 giga RAM
but I am determined only 2.93 GB. (BIOS update).

But I have this question, too, on the theme of memory - on a computer physically 4 GB of memory installed 64 bit OS but for unknown reason, until the computer restarts itself often, with no mistakes does not issue, just as if anyone clicked reset, this happens only when running Light room, tried 64 bit XP and Vista, with all the different drivers - no change. We do not want to check whether the problem disappears if you switch to 32 bit (all right features with the memory), but have a question - I know that no 32-bit XP or 32 bit Vista can not use 4 GB of memory (according to the article which is link in this topic), but the riddle - recently on a notebook that contains the 32 bit Vista and 4 gig went to Control Panel -> System and it says 4 GB of RAM. What does this mean? With Vista 32b better behave in the presence of 4 gigabyte RAM, or it simply reflects correctly the actual amount of memory but are not changing the OS is available as much memory as bit and 32 bit XP? In general, in fact, such a question if briefly - if you have 4 giga of memory (allow 32 percent bit) then it is better in terms of memory allocation and use of applications to maximize the amount of memory set - whist 32 bit or XP 32 bit?
