    What OS are you running? If it's 32bit Windows, you'll not be able to use the full 4gb.

    It depends on whether you have onboard devices that use up the RAM. What is the make and model of your machine?

    Looks like you have both onboard sound and graphics, so I doubt you could squeeze much more memory out of it.
