@grr: I think he wanted to say that it shows 3Gb.
@jcgo16: Do you have two memory slots? 3GB + 1GB?

Perhaps it's like THIS case. Some memory it's reserved for the kernel.

Id say your system is sharing ram probably for graphics

Go into msconfig> Boot Tab> Advanced Options> Untick Box next to Maximum Memory> OK your way out. A Guy
