XP RAM Upgrade
What I have recommended my clients to do, to extend the life of their Windows XP business computers and to help extend the life of their current computer investment is to purchase the fastest RAM that workstation can handle. As most XP operating systems are 32 bit it is easy to state they can only physically install up to 4GB of RAM as the maximum hardware and operating system limitation.

possible that would work with the computer model has had a very long run. The general availability was on December 31, 2001 and the end of sale for preinstalled was October 22, 2010. End of support for Windows XP was back on April 14, 2009 and the extended support is April 8, 2014
