You are working with a 32 bit operating system. Nothing is going to see
more than 4GB
of memory even if you put a terabyte of RAM into the machine. There are
some software
solutions such as those from vmware (www.vmware.com) but my suggestion
would be
to either accept that you wasted 4GB of RAM or get another operating system.
