If you've installed more than 4 gigabytes of memory, you're going to have to upgrade to the 64-bit version of Windows XP to recognize it all. A 32-bit operating system is only able to recognize about 3.4 gigabytes of RAM.
The computer, of course, will recognize that memory; and there are products on the market that will let you use the extra memory as a RAM drive. I'm still using the 32-bit version of XP, until I can afford Windows 7, and I have my swap file on the 4.5 GB RAM drive. I notice a substantial increase in speed with programs that do a lot of swapping to the hard drive.

When you install Spore Creepy and Cute Parts Pack will it use up your RAM and take it off your computer?
Your question is a little confusing, but I think I can give you some advice. When you install Spore Creepy and Cute Parts Pack it will take up space in your hard drive, just like Spore does when you install it, and the same for anything else in your computer. But it wont affect your ram, and it wont take your ram off your computer permanently. When you play Spore, more of your computer's ram will be used up temporairaly, but not permenatly.
