yer you shouldnt have any probs really. i run the game at max settings. specs are as follows...

AMD X2 5200+ CPU
point of view extreme overclocked GTX260
3gig DDR2-800Mhz RAM
M2N-E SLI ready mobo
750w evo labs PSU

If you use 64bit version of XP it will recognize and use more. Infact all 32bit system only use around 3GB of RAM.
If you have more than that use 64bit version of your OS

Funny thing with Win7 64bit, I have 8gigs of RAM but (win7 uses 2 I think?) but the game hardware checker is only stating I have 2 gigs, when 6 gigs are actually free...

Ive seen this posted about win7(64) and SH5.
