XP will only use 1 gig?

I'm looking to build my first machine in a few weeks (once I get all of my ducks in a row) A friend of mine told me that XP will only recognise up to 1 gig of ram. From what I've been reading, that's not true. It doesn't make sence that they would make 4 and 8 gig compatible boards if you couldn't use it. But, none-the-less, I have to make sure. I read the entier FAQ and thiers no mention to his claims. If someone could give me a final say so that I can rest easier, that'd be great. Thanks.
