this is not a Bug 32bit OS's support = upto 3.__GB RAM to support 32bit applicaton
64bit OS's support = upto 8GB to support 64bit applications
this is a good thing..change your OS

small correction,
32 bit OS's supports up to 3.xx GB of RAM with up to 2GB of dedicated memory per process

64 bit OS's supports up to 128 GB of RAM with up to 4GB for each 32 bit process and up to 8TB (theoretical) for each 64 bit process.

I hav 4GB DDR2 & XP shows as 3.23GB and in Vista shows as 3.3GB.
I know I have to install 64 bit OS due to PAE(Physical Address Extension).

Nyway I don't need that unusable 700MB ram

Yep It will show as 4GB on welcome screen, But usable memory is 3.3GB.
