Thanks everyone for the input. Having got the actual computer, it turns out that the limit seems to be in Windows XP. The manual for the motherboard has some details about how it can't handle all the memory correct or good (didn't understand the exact techtalk) unless you have "less than 3GB" installed. The mother board handles up to 8GB it seems. So I will have the bag with the extra 2GB in waiting for when I get some operating system that can handle it (if that ever happens).
There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
