i believe it can, however it wont make much of a difference, over 2GB XP wont really use the extra, and i'd b surprised if you had enought programs running to warrant 4GB, i'd only bother if u have vista. Yes, you can. But XP x32 cannot manage 4GB efficiently. There are so many users trying to use 4GB of RAM and XP displays only 3,25 or 3,5 GB.

Why was Windows XP only capable of accessing 4GB if RAM?

There are a couple reasons. At the time it was released, 4 GB was more RAM than most desktop computer had or would be expected to have in its lifecycle. Also, 32-bit operating system can only access more than 4 GB of RAM if they run in PAE mode. Not all drivers will run correctly with more than 4 GB of RAM, so Windows XP deliberately capped it to avoid problems.
