XP is easier to use but can only run a max of 3.75GB of RAM, I have 8GB installed, so at the moment my computer has 4.25GB that it cannot use.

If I may correct you there.

It's not Win XP that's limiting you, its the 32bit version you have installed.

Windows come in 2 versions, 32bit & 64bit.

Due to the way 32bit was engineered, it can only use 3.5GB-4GB of RAM.

The 64bit version's limit is something like 128GB.

So just get a 64bit version of XP and reinstall.

(Do some Google-ing

)

PS: Win XP, Vista & 7 have 32bit & 64bit versions, not sure about earlier versions.

With all this whining about how Windows is terribad it made me think, what's wrong with moving to Linux?
