Hello

Windows XP will recognize hard drives in excess of 2 Terabytes if
formatted
NTFS and up to 4GB RAM. Your motherboard is the limiting factor as to
how
large a drive and the amount of RAM you can actually use with Windows XP

Well not quite, the biggest single hard drive it will recognize is 2TB, you
can stripe several 2TB drive together to make a single logical drive >2TB.
The 2TB/hard drive limit is a limit of the current SCSI LBA scheme which is
based on 2^32 x 512byte blocks, though that's a SCSI limit, not an XP limit

How many RAM can Win XP tolerate& work with it properly?
(Bus 333& 400 ddr RAM)
.
Windows XP can tolorate as much RAM as the motherboard
can handle.. However keep in mind that the Os will
utilize as much as it wants based on Video Memory and
swap space
