It looks like 2 GB is reserved for the video card. Nothing you can do about it. Other then getting a new MB.

Or you can max out the memory.

But before I format, I was fine with this same components, and it was 4gb usable..

I doubt if you had 4 GB usable out of 4. There is always some that is reserved for video.

bigmck is right. Usually most if not all video cards use some of the available ram as memory for the cards use for it to properly render graphics, etc; so indeed; usually there is not a lot u can do except well like bigmck said; max out the ram capability in your motherboard.

No, You will never have a case where all of your RAM is usable. Click on your Start Button, and right click on Computer. Left click on Properties. This will bring up a page that tells your Total Memory and Usable Memory. Tell us what it says.

4gb (2gb usable) and I know what are you saying bigmck but i never before had this (2gb usable) i should have 3 at least..

It is quite possible it is also the ability of your motherboard. How old is the system board in your system? The reason i ask is because the "older" ones dont neccessairily have the capability to allow more ram for "use". granted; I could be on the wrong path here; but this is just coming from what i think based somewhat on the knowledge i do have.
