Can you tell us the exact make and model number of your PC - it may be that the RAM is being used by onboard devices such as a video card etc...

Re: RAM not showing correctly
Ahhh...ok.
XP 32-bit will only recognise 3.25GB RAM..64-bit XP will recognise the full 4GB....as will Vista

Re: RAM not showing correctly
No.It can only recognize that much.If you weant its full use then you might want to get x64bit or Vista.
