I'd go for 2 - 2gb modules and leave the memory slots open since with
XP-64 you can expand to more memory later. Butr why a Xeon? Unless you
are going to have more than 1 cpu, there just isn't any advantage with
the Xeon for any functions other than when used as a server where the
cache makes a difference.
