You can install more than 4 GB if the motherboard supports it. However, pure 32-bit operating systems cannot access any more. Some server versions of Windows, along with PAE-enabled Linux kernels, can access up to 64 GB of memory, though this is rather inefficient, and each program is still limited to 3 GB of RAM.

Is a 4GB memory good?

It depends on context. 4GB is actually all the memory that Windows XP can handle (there's a special 64-bit edition that can use more than 4GB). However, it's not a huge amount of memory for a video camera (it's not horrible, though; it represents maybe an hour of standard definition video).

How much Ram is there on a virtual Windows XP?

However much is assigned to it by the virtual machine. Virtual or not, the 32-bit version of WinXP will not be able to address more than 4GB of memory in any combination of video and system ram. Dial back to 4GB instead of allocating excess...you gain nothing and just take away memory from the host. This presumes that your host is a 64-bit OS. If the host is 32-bit, also, you want to limit your virtual machine to half the available memory (2GB) or your host will suffer performance issues.

I am using windows 7 64x bit with 4gb ram when I try adding an additional 4gb the motherboard beep and computer does not boot up?

If you are sure that both memory pieces are working then you can have at least two explanations to what is happening. First one is the chipset that you have on your motherboard does not support more than 4 Gb of RAM (read the manual for more details). Second is the memory you both cannot work with your motherboard because it uses to low frequency.
