4 Gigabytes
The type of operating system to use depends also on the amount of memory in the computer. These older computers usually feature 64-256 megabytes maximum. 64 mb + i would recommend using a light version of Linux (Google it, there will be a few light Linux versions, download the CD image, and write it to a CD, then Boot off of that CD on the older computer) 256 megabytes+ it is possible to use windows Me or windows 2000. Windows XP can work, but it is not worth buying XP. If you have a CD with XP on it, go ahead and try that. Linux is a good choice.
Operating systems are not installed on motherboards. Operating systems are installed on storage media or in some kind of memory including read only memory, which can be part of motherboard. The standard operating systems that work on most Personal Computer motherboards, that include an Intel compatible CPU, includes versions of Microsoft Windows, Linux, Oracle Solaris and other version of unix,
An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is a vital component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs require an operating system to function. For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware . The most popular and latest ones include the Windows XP, Mac, UNIX, Linux, Windows Vista, etc.
Different types of operating systems have their disadvantages. In the case of a single user OS, it does not use the CPU, memory and other resources to the maximum. It also wastes a lot of CPU time since it executes one program at a time.

192 Gigabytes is the maximum.

4 GB of memory is the maximum you can use in Windows XP, with only 3.5 GB of it seen by Windows.

It depends upon the type of operating system and if the laptop can support the amount of memory. Most versions of Windows are 32BIT. This simply means they can "see" a maximum of 4GB of memory. 64BIT versions of Windows can see past that 4GB limitation. Most computers will only see 3.5GB out of 4 (even if 4 is installed) SO, 3GB is very close to the maximum amount that most computers can see. It is also very close to what most versions of Windows will see. Therefore, 3GB is probably GREAT for a laptop.
That depends on the operating system and computer architecture.
Probably damaged memory. If computer memory is damaged the memory is marked as bad by controller on the chip. A lower amount of memory is reported to the operating system. Also Windows XP will only address 4gb of ram without using a physical address extension. More than this is ignored.
Windows xp supports a maximum of 4 gigabytes of ram and 2 Terabytes of hard drive space
Windows laptop computer refers to the operating system in the computer. This operating system is where your virtual memory, task, and files are stored.
