    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?

    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.

    Yeah, but unlike vista or 7 xp64 is pretty lousy on the compatibility front.
