"Note: due to standard PC architecture, a certain amount of memory is reserved for system usage, and therefor the actual memory size is less than the stated amount.
For example, 4GB of memory size will instead be shown as 3.xxGB memory during system startup."

Memory is used to map the addresses for hardware devices by the bios so they can be used, all 4 gigs of ram are being utilized.

No point in going for 4GB ram if you get XP.  A 32bit operating system can't use that much.


actually what I said or meant to say was I would like 4gb if I had to get Vista not XP. On my desktop I run XP with 2gb just fine as long as I keep my crap to a minimum. But can't afford to put 4 gb in the laptop at purchase so now I know that I can add ram later I am just  going to have a look at Future Shop to compare, but I like the colours of the Dell Inspiron 1720 (YES, I know but I am a women and Red is just fire spirit(element) to me). :P
