RAM Under-rated

Hi,
Assembled my new system with:

AMD Phenom II X4 940
Gigabyte GA MA790GP - UD4H
Corsair 800Mhz 2GBx2 RAM Modules

My system is showing only 2.75 gb of RAM. I understand that OS being 32bit the RAM showed is less than 4 GB. But my office PC (HP System - using E7400+4gb RAM) shows 3.31 GB of RAM. I cant understand why there is such difference of RAM Capacity? Does it depends on the Processor and MObO used?

Also, if i install 64bit XP then do I've to install all my softwares again i mean will the current softwares which run on this 32bit sys will work on the 64bit machine?

dude. if you haven't installed any GPU, onboard GPU will take 512MB of RAM.

I think there was a similar probs with ram in this forum...' it was the os I mean the win xp 32 bit that was causing it....?
Reinstall the winxp and then c it..'

I have the same Board and Proc. RAM in XP 32 bit is 2.75 GB! Try GPU-Z and u'll c that u have 640MB VRAM. 512 MB is shared minus the GFX Card. If u have a GFX card installed, then its a prob. With integrated gfx, its not.
