I have 8 GB of RAM on my MBP, but when I boot in XP it says I only have 2.17 GB of RAM. Is this normal? If not, how do I fix it?
Got a tip for us?

You probably have the 32-bit version of Windows XP installed. The 32-bit version has a limit on how much RAM it can recognize.
There is a 64-bit version available.
