2GB Or 3GB??

Post by Sparky »

I've read and contributed to discussions about 4 GB of RAM in Windows XP 32 bit (doesn't seem to work). My question is: has anybody seen any improvement in performance by stepping up from 2 GB to 3 GB in Windows XP 32 bit? I run photo editing software as well as video editing and the price on another pair of matched sticks has come down so much I'm once again thinking about adding another 1 GB (512mb x 2).
