This is going on memory from a few months ago but I believe when they originally mapped out the maximum of 4GB they decided between a 50/50 split of user data and OS. With the /3GB switch at startup you can get XP to allocate 3GB for user data but this comes with some limitations and potential complications.
Even with this limitation there may still be some benefit in installing more than 2GB of RAM (which I have in this machine). Hmmm.
