Well you could take the XP machine and go to crucial.com and run their memory configuration. It will tell you how much memory the motherboard will support. -

You could also look up the motherboard manual. That will also give you the specs you need. As far as a lab goes, Oracle's virtual box is pretty nice and it's free. I just got done loading my second DC for my lab. My lab PC has only 4GB of RAM, but I can run the 2 DC's and a client fairly well. -

I second Virtual Box. Free and easy to set up. I've got lots of VMs installed running a variety of OSs. Though my system has 16 GB RAM, you certainly don't need that much to run a few VMs.WGU BS-IT Network Design and Management
