In properties it shows Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0, 3.50GB RAM, although I have 4GB installed, I did ask about it however and they told me that i have to change my operating system to an x64 Version for all the 4GB to work...

if u are using windows xp sp2 with 4 g.b of ram i will not show u more then 2.5 - 3 g.b be coz 32 bit soft like windows don't make more then 3 g.b of ram available to you.also u can check more about your motherboard as if it can supports 64bit windows then go for it.It i will show u 4 g.b. also don't mess up with the bios or cheat your o/s as it may harm ur pc performance.so y not try 64bit but be sure about the drivers u have for 64 bit o/s.

maybe its due to the operating system, 32-bit operating system supports only up to 3GB maximum memory, try to use a 64-bit operating system. . . .

**** check the bios if it display 4GB. if it displays 4GB then the operating system is the problem.

To become a good technician or PC Troubleshooting, try all possibilities that you can think of. besides, it's your computer. if you do something wrong, buy new one :D

How many RAM Chip now after you installed to make it 4GB?

if it's 1GB per Chip, maybe the last chip is not working that's why it only shows 3GB.

I think it supports 4GB, because if it was not supporting it will not support more than 2GB like Windows XP,
