Grillo
I'm having the same problem and i changed the Boot.ini file and still
showing
less than 4gb...shows 2.75 gb???What should i do to fix that?The bios show
4gb too.My win is a xp sp2 professional.


A 32-bit system can only utilize up to 4GB of address space, so it can't use
the full 4GB of memory for Windows, it needs address space for the things in
your machine too, graphics cards etc, they all cut into the available
address space.

If you want to use the full 4GB of memory you'll need the x64 Edition of
Windows and a x86-64 CPU.
