XP Pro supports up to 4GB of RAM. Probably Home does the same, but I'm
not sure.

There are some caveats with using 4GB of RAM:

The amount of RAM is also limited by what your motherboard will support.
System RAM will not affect your other hardware such as video card. Most
end users will have no reason to have more than 1 or possibly 2 GB or
RAM in their system. If you are having a problem that you think is
related to memory, post back with details and someone will help you.
