I thought a 32-bit OS was limited to 3.4GB of RAM unless you use the Physical Address Extensions in the boot.ini file. The file is a protected file in the root of C:\ (or whatever your boot partition is) so you will need to unhide protected OS files onder folder options. Open boot.ini with notepad and add the /pae switch to the end of the last line (starts with "multi(0) disk(0)rdisk"... etc) and then reboot. You should then be able to see all your memory.
