Hi,
We are going to runing some services on Windows XP professsional which need
large amount of RAM, so Can any one let me know how much RAM this OS can
support?
Many Thanks and Best regards!

It is absolutely essential that any new RAM module(s) be fully
compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other RAM module(s)
already in the system. Additionally, there are sometimes jumper
switches on older motherboards that need to be reset for new RAM
configurations. Consult your motherboard's manual or the
manufacturer's web site for specific instructions and compatibility
requirements.
If you cannot lay your hands upon the computer's manual and the
manufacturer doesn't provide a support web site, you can use these
utilities to help determine the correct type of RAM needed:

Also, Crucial Memory's web site (
www.crucial.com) has a database
to help to find the right RAM for your specific make and model
computer and/or motherboard.
As for WinXP, if the motherboard supports the RAM, and it's not
defective, the OS will accept it.
