    A 32bit operating system can only use "3GB" RAM max, which is actually closer to 2.5GB of RAM. A 64bit operating system is required to utilize more than three GB of RAM to its max potential.

    Your onboard graphics chip may be using system RAM as well...

    Anything more than 3gb ram on a 32bit OS gets reserved. From 4gb of ram, only 2.5 - 2.75gb will be usable depending on your motherboard and onboard graphics memory. But on a 64bit installation you get 3.7gb or the entire 4gb memory.
