Two quick questions for EVGA nForce 680i SLI Socket 775

[johnleeRIP]

I have the following:

Motherboard
EVGA nForce 680i SLI Motherboard - T1 Version, NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI, Socket 775, ATX, Audio, PCI Express, SLI, Dual Gigabit LAN, S/PDIF, USB 2.0 & Firewire, Serial ATA, RAID

CPU:
Q6600 Quad Core (stock fan)

RAM:

Corsair 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz (2x2048MB)


And I am installing this on Windows XP Pro SP2 32bit


There was a warning that 4GB will not work with XP.

Will I have any problems with this mobo, cpu, and ram combination?

Can 32bit XP handle ram that is 2GB PER STICK?????

Or should I have gotten FOUR 1GB sticks instead of 2 2GB sticks?

Does it make any difference ??

Also I have read some people rec reseating and applying special paste on this particular mobo to prevent overheating? If I don't OC will this be an issue for me?

Anyone ?

Also, sames you are using 32 bit XP, you will only see about 3.2GB of memory.
