2: What does Windows say is installed?
3: What version of Windows are you running?

Is your XP-Pro 34bit or 64bit. A 34bit has a limit cap on how much memory you can install.

it is 34 bit, I searched the internet, it seems the arranagement of memories and ranks affects some how.

First off, it's 32-bit. And 32-bit can see up to approx 3.5GB of RAM.

Do this. Reboot your computer and go into the BIOS. Look around in the settings and see if there is anything related to "Memory Remapping". If it is enabled, disable it. If it is disabled, enable it.

Also, do you have a dedicated GPU or on-board graphics?
