Just to set things straight:
32-bit Windows can only recognise maximum of 4GB of RAM. Yes, I said that right. What happens is that Windows also takes some of your RAM to make a buffer for the videocard. i.e. your video card has 512MB of VRAM, so you lose 512MB of system RAM. I had 4GB at one point, and it registered as 3.76GB, since my video card has 256MB of VRAM. You'll never get the actual 4GB to register.
If you want 4+ GB, upgrade to a 64-bit operating system.
