I just upped the memory on my DAW running XP Pro from 1 GB to 3 GB. Are there any memory tweaks that i need to make or should make to the system to utilize all of it?

Windows XP pro (32bit) doesnt recognize more than around 3.1gigs
Windows XP pro (32bit) doesnt recognize more than around 3.1gigs when using a 256mb video card or about 3.7gigs of mem if you use a vid card with less than 256mb of ram... You still have access up to 4gigs with page mem.
How much ram does it say you have in sys properties/general tab?
