That's normal, when you have 4GB, your system will have some reserved. I cant remember why, but I just remember reading this in my motherboard manual, maybe someone can give better info as to why it does that, but it is normal as far as I know.

Either way, I doubt xp can even take advantage of that much ram. And it's probably best you dont use cap locks when posting. ;)

My computer reserves 32 megabytes for onboard graphics since I don’t have a separate video card. Did you see anything about that in your BIOS?
