Have you try to turn off the on board video that could be sharing the memory.

What OS are you running?

If it's not a 64bit version you won't see much more than what you are seeing now.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.

yes I'm using 64bit version and my problem isn't with the windows, its the bios that only reports 3,25gb ram
