Not ture. Windows XP can handle up to four GB of RAM.
See:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/p.../features.mspx
Scalable memory and processor support
Supports up to 4 gigabytes (G  of RAM and up to two symmetric multiprocessors.
Users who need the highest level of performance will be able to work with the latest hardware.

Hello
war59312 is correct I believe....
the 1.5 you talk of is for X98 and Millenium, both DOGS to start with...
You can run more ram, but have to write a reg entry to only use 1.5 or 98 and milly will just keep rebooting....

What BH said PLUS the fact the the whole 9X platform had a huge memory leak and anything over 512MB of ram was pointless because it just leaked away :P
