Not only it is normal, it is one of the prime reasons to use Windows 7 over XP.

The reason is the other RAM is cached and You never have the full 4GB. The PC uses it just to run. That is why a sys wont even post without RAM.

I've never come across it, but I believe some motherboards have a BIOS option to enable memory remapping that will allow all 4 GB to be usable. Some of it could also be set aside for onboard graphics as well.

Unless your BIOS/Motherboard supports Memory Remapping, you are not going to get the full 4GBs. Otherwise the hardware will continue to take up a portion of the 4GB address space.
