Note XP CAN use 3Gig of RAM, more if you run the 64bit version.

I have 4 gig in my standard XP Pro workstation and it uses 3 quite well.


As stated, there is not a lot of consumer software that needs or uses more than a single processor. XP will dole some work out onto multiple cores, but it really doesn't do much for the average joe.
90 % of the time your processor is sitting there doing little or nothing waiting for you to do something.

Not sure why everybody is hyped up about Quad Cores etc.
