Possibly the wrong forum. Your question has already been answered in your post on our Video forum.

It sounds like you're using onboard video, and the video section is "borrowing" the extra 2 GB of RAM. If you actually have a separate vid card, check the CMOS to see that it's set to use it, instead of onboard video.
