With XP you can only install SQL2000 Personal.
SQL 2000 Personal was desing to work with one user or two. More than that, performance decrease.
SQL 2000 Personal can reach 2GB, no more. HTH Luis Martin

Hi,<br />if you would set to RAM amount in OS then you have to follow the step as :<br /><br />My Computer -> properties -> Advance -> Performance -> Settings -> Advance -> Virtual Memory – Change -> Custom : Intial Ram (Actual Phyzical Disk * 150% ) & Maximum Ram (Actual Phyzical Disk * 200%)<br /><br />and if you wants to configure the SQL Server Ram (not support more then 2 GB on MSDE)<br />run <b><font color="brown">sp_configure </font id="brown"> </b> <br />and if you wants to use AWE please read <b><font color="red">Managing AWE Memory</font id="red"></b> in BOOKS ONLINE.<br /><br />[<img src=’/community/emoticons/emotion-1.gif’ alt=’

If the edition of SQL is not a Standard or Enterprise then there will not be much use of adding physical memory, as it is possible only when you use server edition of operating system and defined edition of SQL server. Satya SKJ
