Have 4GB RAM (EPP) but XP is hiding 1.5GB of it.

RAM is SLI ready (with SLI enabled) I'm sure this is the reason, if I right click on My Computer and properties is list total RAM as 2.5GB, same in task manager. But I have 4 x 1GB sticks installed, detected in BIOS and in Everest, where or what is Windows XP Pro doing with the 1.5GB?

It's a limitation of the operating system, and it will only be able to use 2.5 to 3GB of RAM.
