Sometimes I read that XP will recognize only 3 or 3. Also, I keep running into mentions of Physical Address Memory. I'm ready to do whatever is best. My graphics card is only 64 MB if the information helps. I also have a soundblaster X-Fi sound card, but I am not sure if that is important. Anyone know the real truth? Any fully educated recommendations would be appreciated. Share Flag. If you have 3GB installed on the systems in question, then that should be sufficient for your requirement.
I was just thinking the same, that my only option without having to switch to 64bit XP is to go up to 3GB RAM and hope that it'll be sufficient to run all processes and applications. If you move to a 64bit OS don't move to XP 64bit as it is very badly supported plus XP itself is being phased out , move to Windows 7 64bit instead, it is a much better OS and works perfectly in 64bit plus has a lot more support in terms of drivers for hardware.
Intel Core 2 Duo should be a x64 bit processor. If you purchase a copy of Windows 7 Professional, you can use XP mode and should be able to run your software that is only designed for x86 bit.
This will allow you to take full advantage of both the additional memory and the 32 currently unused lanes in your hardware. Does this mean that Win 7 Pro is 64bit by default or is it also 32bit? You should be fine with your processor. I would definitely recommend moving to Windows 6 Professional or Ultimate if you need encryption bit instead of XP. XPbit is horrible, out of support, and generally a Very Bad Idea. If you get Professional or Ultimate, it comes with XP-mode for any legacy apps you may have.
The XP-mode is bit, though, so it's stable! Sure you have had every answer possible thrown at you but basically you can't but technically you can.
It works very well. Make sure PAE is enabled in the BIOS and if you don't have a dedicated graphics card in your workstations drop one in if you have a cheap one lying around. I ran for years on 3.
And it's not like your workstation will cease to run if the RAM gets low - it's uses your hard drive's pagefile. To continue this discussion, please ask a new question.
