Windows 7: Memtest and missing (PCI) memory addresses

Memtest and missing (PCI) memory addresses

If I place a single 4GB stick in my machine and run memtest, I see it's testing only 3.7GB. I assume this is the PCI memory map taking 0.3GB. Does this mean I'm not actually testing all the memory or am I missing something?

I really don't know the answer, but an assumption would be that it takes some memory to run the computer and the test.

Hmmmm so I'm not actually testing all the memory then?
