having 8 GB on 32-bit, XP won't hurt anything?

I have a XP pro 32 bit on a removable hard drive and just get an ASROCK 880GMH/USB3 and 8 GB of RAM _ 2nd removable hard drive provided with Win7 64 bit

Hi all.

Yesterday, I bought a card mother ASROCK 880GMH/USB3 and 8 GB of RAM to upgrade my PC, but when I read the manual it says that systems with 32-bit memory will be less than 4 GB, my XP pro 32-bit is on a removable hard drive that I can go out and insert another hard drive with Linux installed so I thought that if I buy a new hard drive and install a Windows7 64 bit I could have all the advantages of the 8 GB of RAM, but the question is: under XP with 8 GB of RAM installed could adversely affect anything or would it not OK and just show 3. something GB of RAM
Soon my friends.

Hi Wilf Brown,

You can use Windows XP with 8 GB of RAM installed. It would not affect how the operating system should run. Although, as you said it wouldn't show the whole RAM installed.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit version won't complete installation

    This one is makes me crazy, everything first, here are the specs of the system on which I'm trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit version:

    Core 2 Extreme QX9650

    Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6

    Patriot Viper 4GB DDR3 1800 Dual Channel Kit

    Gigabyte GV - R4870X2 Radeon HD 4870 X 2 2 GB video card

    Zalman 850W PSU

    1 WD Raptor HD 320

    WD 640GB HD 1

    Now the problem, I had been running Vista Ultimate on the above system and I built a new system I put Windows 7 64 bit on and I liked it well enough to spring for another copy of the 64 bit version of Windows 7. I backed up all my files on an external hard drive and put it on the side to ensure the guard. I then install the new OS of all wipe out to get a clean installation fee. Everything was moving along fine until it came to the point where it was finished installing where it seemed to hang for a while but it was finally restarted, but from there he should have me screens for the key code and my info to enter but I got was a black screen and yet my cursor was there and I could move around. I waited a bit and nothing past that was far from the ease with which it is installed on my new build. I restarted and it took me to the screen where you can choose to start windows in safe mode or normal mode, I tried both ways. Only, he went up and then stopped. I thought that maybe I had a damaged disc, so I got out my new computers Windows disk to see if it would install and I thought that if that was the case I had a damaged disc, but he did the same thing as the disc I tried first. Then I went back to my Vista disk and this 'thing' installed as there was nothing for her. Needless to say I'm stumped on this one.

    Any ideas on what I should try next?

    I should have gotten back sooner, but I finally got the problem fixed. I went to a new ATI video card a 5500 series and Windows 7 installed without a hitch. I downloaded the latest driver for cards in time, and it has been fine since. I hooked it up to my HDTV via a HDMI cable, so I can watch the DVD and Blu - ray movies. It works like a charm. Problem solved.

  • After having upgraded to Firefox 24 it now won't start at all after clicking on the icon. My OS is Windows Vista premium. It will start in safe mode.

    Upgrade to Firefox 24 and now nothing works at all despite uninstall it and reinstall several times and lose all my favorites etc. However, it does not start in safe mode. At first, I thought it was my Norton 360 Security, but after 2 hours in contact with them, I'm still in the same position. When I double click on the Firefox icon I see the moment where the cursor and then it disappears and nothing loads.

    My OS is Windows Vista Premium and I use Windows internet explore for the time.

    HELP Please!

    Thank you nellus91.

    I used the Microsoft Safety Scanner first, and it found nothing. I then used TDSSkiller and he found the problem.

  • Help please - Clip + stuck on USB screen and won't do anything else...

    I just bought a little used RockBoxed Clip + someone Head-fi.

    The first time I plug the thing into my laptop with intentions of matching with my MediaMonkey software (so I can load it with music and manage, etc.), it crashes with the USB icon lights up on the screen and a few other icons. I discovered that even after disconnection (re-login) the device that this display won't go away no. matter what combination of buttons I push or press and hold for a while.

    I included a picture to illustrate what I'm talking about here. I wonder if I should just go ahead and ask the guy to get a refund. Or maybe someone here will know what to do to get this thing not blocked. I tried to look for a pin hole to reset. I saw one at the back of the unit, near the top. I tried using a PIN in the hole, without success (I hope that she is in fact intended to be a reset hole).

    Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

    PS - Sorry, I can't get the picture to load here.

    OK, finally got out of this screen after contacting the original vendor (who told me to press and hold the power button for: 20 sec).

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
