Maximum Ram for XP home

When I go into properties in my computer it displays only 3 GB of ram but my computer has 8 installed.  Is this too much for the operating system?  Do I need to remove 4GB?  When the computer boots and tests it shows all eight and the motherboard says it supports up to 10.

But winxp supports ony 4gb, and may only show 3gb
Any memory over 4gb cannot be used by winxp
