Guys, this is too hectic. The OP has a 64bit system. So none of the 32bit explanations apply. The Resource Monitor reports 1GB as hardware reserved. So the full 4GBs are there. Question is only which hardware has reserved this 1GB.

Very good. I am glad you got it sorted out.
This does sound like a chunk of RAM mapped to his display adapter but a whole gig??
Seems a bit too large of a block for even a crappy card?
Ive still got THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY UPGRADED PC. Windows 7 Professional 64bit (Upgraded from Windows XP Home 32bit). 4096MB Centon PC3200 Dual Channel DDR Memory (3-3-3-8) (4x1GB) (Upgraded from 2x256MB Dual Channel DDR) installed on an MS-7093 motherboard (RS-480M2-IL) with an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 512MB L2 Cache that has an integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200 chipset and integrated SB400 (AC97') audio chipset. Ive recently installed a Galaxy NVidia powered GeForce GT430 with 1024DDR3 onboard memory. Pretty sure the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 was uninstalled (not in device manager). And I dont know how to optimally set my BIOS options. Phoenix AWARD 6.00 PG (No updates from MSIs Live Update, and the one from Emachines worked, but I saw no changes). My Memory Installed: 4GB (3.12GB Usable), 4GB reading in CPUIDs CPUZ at 199MHz as Dual Channel DDR (but at a timing of 3-4-2-8 {after switching latency in BIOS from 2.5-3}), Street Fighter 4 Benchmark reading 6256, AV. 34 FPS, memory:3198, video memory:1024, and Im pretty sure my BIOS also reads 3275776K Total Memory..... WHY?!

Hi, welcome to the forums :)
If you have a decent GFX card you may want to reduce you're AGP aperture size (pic 4) to see if that increases your available memory.
Also, Windows will, be default, allocate memory to some hardware devices. If you click then type resmon and press enter, under memory how much is showing as HardwareReserved?
