Over the years I have heard various descriptions on how you can have too much memory (or at least more than the O/S will use). I’ve even heard suggestions that too much can negatively impact performance due to page sizes, etc.
Anyone know the definitive answer for WinXP?
Any while we're on the subject ... anyone know the answer for W2K Server? (I have a coworker that insists that a line must be added to the boot.ini on W2K Servers to use more than 1 GB of RAM).
