    It should show up in the device manager. Pretty much none.

    xp will not recognize yer turbo mem..

    only vista does... i' doubt you'll notice much diff any way or the other since vista is so bloated to begin with..

    i do find xp to be faster than vista.. i'm running 4GB ram now.. only 3GB showing but its noticeable faster than stock..
