				| Hi just wondering if XP is good with dual core.  My laptop came with Vista (I know that doesn't surprise anyone) and I want to go back to XP as long as I still get to utilize my 2GB of ram and dual core. |

				| I'm running XP with a dual core processor and 2 GB RAM with no issues (Typical Windows problems aside). |

				Does XP see all 2GB?  And is the duo core being utilized by XP?  
 
 
(those are my primary concerns... I know that XP will run on my hardware, I just want to know how well)
 
 
p.s. I heard a year or two ago that XP can't see past 1GB.  Has this changed in recent updates? |

				| It can't quite handle 4 GB RAM, but anything lower it's fine with. |
