Dave called after installing Microsoft Windows XP, and the issue of memory limits arose…

Before you go to the website I’m about to mention, you may want to lower the volume on your speakers: I was greatly annoyed by an advertisement on this site that had sound. The best “plain English” answer I found was at the “Dan’s Data” website:
“…you shouldn’t install more than 3Gb if you’re not running a 64-bit operating system.
“…a plain PC running a 32-bit operating system…shouldn’t have more than 3Gb of RAM…
“If you install 4Gb, there is no way to make all of the RAM between 3Gb and 4Gb available without installing a 64-bit OS, which you can’t do unless you have a 64-bit CPU. And even then it won’t necessarily work.”

During our radio show we had discussed Microsoft Outlook, and the subject of size limitations was mentioned…
Per the article, “The .pst file has a different format and folder size limit in Outlook 2007 and in Outlook 2003”:
The .pst files for IMAP or HTTP accounts in Outlook 2003 are limited to 2 GB.
In Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003, the Internet Message Access Protocol Version 4rev1 (IMAP4) accounts and HTTP accounts are configured by default in the Unicode format…making their limit to be 20 GB.
During our radio show we spoke with Doris about the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard…
(I need to say I have never used this. No reflection on this tool, but due to bad past data loss experiences I always “manually” copy files…”by hand” if you will. When it comes to backups, I only trust me.)

“You can use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to transfer settings from one computer to another computer. The settings that you can transfer include your personalized settings for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, desktop settings, display settings, and dial-up connection settings.
“You can also use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to create a backup copy of your Windows XP settings. You can use this backup copy of your settings to restore your files and settings if you have to reinstall Windows XP.”
