   From: kraut3852@yahoo.com   
      
   I have a Windows XP 32 bit memory limits question   
      
   When I got my system it can with 1 GB memory and said it could be   
   upgraded to 4 and I replaced it with 2 pieces 2 GBs of memory = 4 GB.   
      
   Below is is what the system information prog show I have:   
      
   OS Name	Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition	   
   Version	5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600	   
   OS Manufacturer	Microsoft Corporation

   Even though the pack said the strips were each 2 GB system show I am   
   running 4,096.00 but yet the system seems to be running slow.   
      
   Am not sure how to interpet the above memory info.  Is it using all   
   the memory??  Any suggestions or help or interpetations appreciates.
