    What version of XPP are you refering too?

    XP Pro 32bit edition will see ~3 GB with 4GB physically installed.

    XP Pro 64bit edition will see the full 4GB.

    Though 3GB is more then enough for most tasks.

    just got notification of shipment from frys.com for 2x2gb of Corsair 667mhz

    pre rebate price of $119 shipped, and should be able to get $40 back with two rebates since i purchased 2.

    even without the rebate, deal is incredible.

    Just got one today.

    I bought a Toshiba L45-7409 with 1GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM memory, so it'll be ok if I stick in 1 slot of PC-5300 and 1 slot of PC-5400?

    It's best to match, you may use different manufacturers but you will be more prone to errors with mismatching speeds.

    Thanks for the replies I have sent an email to cancel my order. Funny how the salespeople from Dell promised it was one 4gb stick.
