Hi

4G is the Limit but your Bios can cause issues like you are seeing. Try going into your Bios options and seeing if there are relevant options there. On some Desktop Systems in order to access as much of the 4G as possible you need to be running a PAE kernel.

I just upgraded my MB from 1 to 4Gig of ram.  The relevant part of lshw is

/proc/meminfo

Can someone confirm this? Last I heard, 32Bits meant 4Gig. The HW sees it.
lshw sees it. The kernel should not be limited by it. No?
