There are ways to get around the xp recognizing only 3. whatever gigs. Just google it.

May I ask in what way you were changing it?

Well, I've already used 2 programs DHCP forcer and a program made by my buddy when I used DHCP forcer it dont work it says unidentified network and on my program it just goes back to the same IP ( should do the /release etc commands in the cmd crap )

It supports up to 4gigs, and recognizes it, but 1 gig is reserved for the kernal.


If you really want full use of the 4 gigs, you can go into your windows folder and then to boot.ini and change shit around. I wouldn't recommend doing that because it might cause applications to fail and whatnot. You're better off with a 64bit OS anyway :P

Having 5 or 6GB of RAM is fairly useless for the average person.

unplug your modem for 24 hours, the modem will then reassign a new IP, most ip's are used consistently, but your modem will forcibly apply a new one after a day of inactivity

It sounds like you are trying to get a new DHCP IP. Most of the time you can do this by simply restarting the computer or by running cmd ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew. If your IP reverts then your TCP/IP protocol is configured/locked/set into an specific IP and is not set to obtain a new DHCP automatically. If your are trying to change your ISP IP, then either your ISP gave you a static IP or your ISP does not allow you to change your IP.

5 -6 gb is a waste on any 32 bit os. no matter what your comp shows you, IT WON'T USE MORE than 3.5ish. its IMPOSSIBLE. vista got a patch to make people happy, by showing them how much ram they have installed, but nothing but 64 bit will USE over 4.

also, i didn't read, but why do you need to change your ip? are you getting banned a lot or something?
