Problem

I recently installed 8GB of RAM onto a quad core workstation (HP xw8600) running Windows XP Pro (32-bit). I added the /PAE switch in the boot.ini file, but the SysInfo is saying 3GB total memory still. Is Windows recognizing the extra memory? Is there a way to tell? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Fix for: 8GB RAM on XP Professional

Low Risk

it's NOT about XP, it's about it being 32 bit ... 64 bit will support all your 8GB and then some Windows XP Professional x64 Edition supports 128 GB of RAM
