4GB is the max if you're using the 32-bit versions of either XP or Vista; and Vista kinda' needs every last bit of 4GB.
And even if you're using the 64-bit versions (which alllow you to use WAY more than 4GB... as long as the motherboard can handle it), 4GB still ain't bad. I'd certainly not do more than 8GB with 64-bit XP or Vista. It's just not necessary for most situations.
Hope that helps.
Windows XP will only recognize about 3.5GB's of ram, Vista I believe fixed this problem, so you can put up to like 32GB or something like that. Anyways depending on the apps and games you want to play I'd go with at least 4GB's possibly 8GB. With the price of ram right now you might as well just max out your board ram is crazy cheap atm.
