Is there anything in XP that would preclude one from putting together a PC
with more than 4 GB of memory and using that memory?

I assume you mean with an IA32 processor machine.
First thing is to make sure your system supports more than 4G of memory and that there are no chipset problems associated with that. After that, you need to use the /PAE switch on a boot.ini line, and you’ll need to use the Address Windowing Extensions API in order to take advantage of the extra memory from an application. See
http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/platform/server/PAE/default.asp
for more details on the systems details of how that’s done, and how applications can take advantage of extra memory.
Cheers!

On some highend server the server chipset supports PAE that allows you to
have more than 4GB memory up to 64GB. You can use Win32 API to get the
memory locked down for your own process use.

RE: [ntdev] more than 4 GB of memory and XPIIRC PAE means - the memory > 4GB is handled the same way as usual, and it is transparent to the apps.
