Did you get the 64-bit kernel? Cause I'm not sure the 32-bit kernel can address more than 4 gigs.

It probably scaled your memory down because you didn't allocate enough swap, the swap is part of the virtual memory, and the more swap you have, the more virtual memory you will have. Like if you have 10 gigs, you will have 6 gigs real, and 4 gigs virtual. That's what permits you to work on large images in GIMP and juggle bunches of programs. It's not so good for audio applications though. You probably can turn it off. There is also a way to make it so that swapping of pages out to the storage, happenbs less frequently. But I forget where that information is in the configuration files.
