Max memory allowed with XP Professional

[Guest]

Does anyone know the maximum size of memory allowed by XP Professional

I am receiving a error that windows indicates is a bad memory or configuration error

I recently replaced the memory and tested the new memory and it works ok

My system stats are

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-8KNXP
Memory: DDR400 PC3200 1GB Non-EC
Hard drive: 200GB SATA
Video: ATI 9800 XT 256m

The rest should not matter

Can anyone think of why my system refuses to load XP
Note: The motherboard indicates support up to 4GB of Ram

What is the actual *verbatim* text of the error message that you are
getting?
