Yes....but....

You need to use the /3GB "switch" in Win/XP.  

I have 4GB, but Win/XP only recognizes ~3GB (I have actually set is at 
2944MB, as I have a lot of v-ram) as the upper ~1GB is used for 
drivers, video ram, etc.  I am not sure what you will get with 3GB in 
your system, but I suspect most of it.  

The "but" is that it is processor dependent whether it will work...at 
least with CS3.  I have a AMD Athlon 2x64 (dual core).  The CS3 forums 
have many Intel dual core guy saying it is not working with CS3, but 
did with CS2.

Be careful when you set it up.  Include the existing line from 
your 'boot.ini' along with the new one with the /3GB info.  That way if 
the new line does not work you can reboot with the "other OS".
