Windows XP "nail user" posted a hot discussion: 16GB memory device runs 32-bit Windows XP system

The Windows XP subreddit community has been very lively recently, after a netizen's post sparked a discussion. The netizen shared a method to continue running the 32-bit Windows XP system on modern hardware devices, which aroused the interest and discussion of other users. The topic sparked a lively discussion within the community, with many interested in how to keep this classic system running on today's devices. Users shared their experiences and ideas, discussing technical challenges and solutions, making this post a trending topic

This relatively "modern" hardware device is an ASUS P8Z68-V PRO motherboard, Intel Core i7 2600K processor, AMD Radeon HD 7970 GPU and 16GB DDR3 memory.

32-bit Windows XP can theoretically only recognize and process 4GB of memory. However, because system hardware, drivers, etc. require part of the memory space, the usable memory space is actually less than 4GB.

The blogger said that through the PAE method, the 32-bit Windows XP system can also handle 16GB of memory. The reason why I chose the 32-bit Windows XP system is that the blogger said:

64-bit Windows XP system is not compatible with most software of the same period. If you want to play games, 32-bit Windows XP is a must.

After this post was published, many users who still use Windows XP systems also posted the configuration of the host:

I just installed an XP x64 processor on an ASUS
ROG Crosshair V Formula Z with FX 8350 @ 4.812Ghz, 16GB
DDR3 @ 2400, GTX 980 Ti (modified drivers) and SSD RAID 0 array. Runs very fast using native SATA III and USB

IT Home would like to briefly introduce Windows XP:

The RTM version was released on August 24, 2001; the retail version was available on October 25, 2001. Its name "XP" means "experience" in English.

On June 30, 2008, Microsoft stopped selling XP and announced that primary support for Windows XP will be until April 14, 2009, and extended support will be until April 8, 2014.

On April 14, 2009, Microsoft stopped technical support for Windows XP, including new IE, DirectX, MSN and other Microsoft services that cannot be used on XP.
