A. Windows 2000 Professional can use up to 8 GB of physical memory.

B. Windows XP Professional can use up to 128 GB of physical memory.

C. Windows Vista Home Basic can use up to 16 GB of physical memory.

D. Windows Vista Ultimate can use up to 128 GB of physical memory.

D. There is no direct upgrade path for any version of Windows XP to any version of Windows 7. The most common upgrade path is to back up your data from the Window XP machine, do a clean install of Windows 7, then restore your data to the Windows 7 machine. The most common upgrade paths to Windows 7 are from their equivalent versions in Windows Vista; however, this is very expensive because you need licenses for both Vista and 7.
