Extra Ram in Task Manager

I've installed 2 gig of extra ram on my pc and it shows up everywhere but in the Task Manager I only see the old 2 gig showing in the process page?

You need the 64-bit version of Windows7 to use all the 4GB

The 32-bit version will only use up to 3.25GB of RAM, but the actual usable memory may be lower depending on your hardware

Think I will install the 64 bit disc then...be rude not to :)
