O.P. Ram Queery
Ok if my new computer has got 4gb of ram (2x2g) in dual channel mode, (keep in mind i have 32bit main OS) since my OS only reads 3.23 gb of my ram can i use the rest of that memory for linux?

RE: Ram Queery
If you take it out, place in in another pc, and run linux on that, yes. Otherwise, no.

O.P. RE: Ram Queery
so if i give 512mb of ram to linux, 512mb will be taken off xp, even though xp 32bit only reads 3.23gb and not 4gb

RE: Ram Queery
how can you run XP and linux at the same time? to do this, you need to use 2 different computers. thats it you cant do it in the single machine
