As far as I know, windows xp recognize 4gb as the maximum memory. In my opinion, the reason that your memory see only 3Gb because you might share your memory with your VGA card or other device that need to share with this memory. Check your computer CMOS for more information.

But do ya think that for video and peripherals ROM, it takes 1GB?? I am sure that I have allocated 256MB of RAM to one of my framegrabber card and my graphics card is having on board memory of 256MB. I read a lot on PAE and /3GB options in windows and I tried all those with no luck. -Pavan

User applications under XP can only use a max of 3GB. The remaining 1GB is reserved for the Windows kernel.

Isn't that area reserved for PCI? AFAIR, that is why the area is "hidden" by Windows: The kernel protecting the PCI addresses. If I am mistaken, please give me some feedback.
