I just have a quick question. Am I right that Windows XP will not run with more than 3GB of RAM, or is this just a point where the system becomes unstable due to a memory limit or whatever ??????

XP supports up to 4Gb of memory, the most of which is usable will be around the 3.2Gb mark. There is no instability, the extra memory is just not used.
64-bit XP sees up to 128Gb of memory.

Ok, thank you for the information. How would a person know if he/she has the 64bit edition? I am considering installing 6GB more than the 2GB that I already have, plus using a Athlon 64 x2 chip on a ASUS M3A board, the M3A <GREEN> version.

64-bit XP wasn't particularly mainstream, ran only on specific hardware and actually finding somebody with a copy of XP 64-bit is a bit like trying to find the Holy Grail.
