Q: Is there a memory limit as to how much RAM Windows XP will use?

ie: The specs on my computer say "up to 2GB". It came with 2x256
(512mb) and I just purchased 2x1GB and installed them. The computer
says that it has 2.49GB RAM, but will it actually access that
additional 0.5GB and be able to use it?

Generally, if the PC recognizes the RAM, it should be able to use it. Be
aware, though, not all memory is compatible. If you have memory using
different clock cycles, for example, you may experience instability. Also,
if you get memory that is too slow or too fast for your system, instability
may result.
