I have spent the last 1.5 hours looking for something I
think should be easy to find. However I have not found
it. I am trying to find the maximum RAM supported by
Windows XP. Both the Home Edition and the Professional
products. I found that XP Pro will support 4 GB of RAM.
Does anyone know what Windows XP Home Edition will
support?

Thanks

Before you install Windows XP Home Edition, make sure your computer meets
the following minimum hardware requirements:

* 233 megahertz (MHz) Pentium or higher microprocessor (or equivalent)
* 128 megabytes (MB) recommended (64 MB of RAM minimum; 4 gigabytes (GB) of
RAM maximum)

That is in the Home.txt file under 1.1 "Hardware Requirements".

Google found it on the first seach for "Maximum RAM supported by Windows XP
Home".

XP Home also supports 4 GB. However, the real limit is how much the
motherboard supports.
 
I spent less than a minute searching for this, but I did have a bookmark
saved from a while ago. Hope this helps.
