Windows only shows 3.2Gb

[Butters]

Hi, just built a really nice machine with 4GB of RAM on an ASRock board.

Windows only shows 3.2Gb in system manager and POST only shows 3200 as well. This isnt even a viable multiple of 1028 or 512 so whats going on?

In the actual BIOS screen each 1024 stick is identified as such.

Thanks

Yeah, its a 4gb board (capable)

I found the answer actually from MS

Xp nicks some and allocates it to devices. Rude!
