I am trying to get our IT guy here at work to upgrade all our computers with 1 more GB of Ram. Right now we are all at 2GB. We are an engineering firm mostly running Microstation V8 and Geopak CAD programs. I think we have been getting a lot of memory errors lately and hoped to get some more memory.
I brought it up to him and he claims that XP Pro 32 only will see/utilize 2 GB of memory. I'm pretty sure this is untrue because I have 4 GB in my home computer, 2 512 MB vid cards, and my windows see 2.75 in the system window.
So what is the real answer. How much will XP actually use?
We have mostly 512mb video cards or lower here, a Q6600 in my machine, probably a few Duos in the other machines. He custom built them all. Mostly ASUS boards with Nvidia chipsets i believe. Could be a few intel chipsets in there too.
