The exact amount that the 32 bit version of XP reports on each motherboard
varies from 3.0 to 3.25, depending on the manufacturer.

It also depends on the amount of PCIe video memory. With 256 MB or
less you may get 3.5 GB reported. Of course, unless applications are
large address aware, and the /3GB switch is set in boot.ini, they will
only be able to access 2 GB.

Just to clarify, that's up to 2GB per process, so you may still benefit
from all addressable memory, just not from any single application.
