I was wondering how much RAM Windows XP home 32-bit supports?
At the moment I've got 1 GB, but I was thinking about increasing it to 2 or 3 GB.
 
the OS will keep reading the memory as you add it but the main thing you need to check is how much memory you motherboard takes and what the bios support some times you need to flash the bios but is far as i know the OS will take what ever you give it the highest i've seen is 16GB of 800 Mhz
 
Yes, I want to update my memory and my graphic card :)
Is 4GB necessary or is 3 GB enough?
I don't want to spend to much money if it isn't necessary :)
 
32 bit XP won't support 4GB anyway so that point (or idea) is moot. 2GB is the sweet spot, since it's necessary to modify XP with what's called the "3 gigabyte switch", to permit it to allow programs more than 2GB memory. 2 gigs goes a long way, especially with separate graphics memory.
