1-16 Chapter 1: Product introduction
Important notice on installing Windows
®
XP 32-bit version
If you install Windows
®
XP 32-bit version Operating System (OS), the
limitation of this OS version is that it may reserve a certain amount of
memory space for system devices. We recommend that you install less
than 3 GB system memory if you would like to work under Windows
®
XP
32-bit version OS. The excess memory installation will not cause any
usage problem, but it will not give users the benet of manipulating this
excess memory space.
