If you really want to utilise more ram, I'd go over to Vista 64 bit.

I have it set up, runs great!

The general advice from most Music Tech vendors is to steer clear of Vista.

The driver support for pro audio cards is still pretty sketchy, and there are still stability concerns.

XP is as good as it has ever been for musicians, and Vista doesn't offer anything that would make the pain worth it.
