could someone confirm it?

i have 4gb of ram installed in my system, but in "my computer" properties it just shows 2.75 gb of ram. i have 32bit version of windows xp installed in my system, and i know that it can support upto 4 gb of ram. Shouldn't it be showing like 3.25gb or something? i mean 2.75gb seems lesser than what it should actually show. im not sure about it. Or is there some other problem..
my specs are :
phenom 955 BE
Gigabyte 880
GSkill 2x2gb ddr3 1333
hd 5770
wd 500gb
coolermaster 650 watt

thnx in advance

Do you have an on-board graphics, or are you running something else ? look into you Bio's at startup and see what your on board graphics is using.. I always have to turn mine down...
they eat up allot or your ram..

No, not true. Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit can support up to 3.5GB RAM.

I think that there is a little conflict between these operating sistems. You better quit using two OS and work on just one. I say , there would be no problem if you listen to me.
