Is your system 32-bit or 64-bit OS? If it is only a 32-bit operating system, then your system by default can not read much more ram than 2GB. Most times they can read up to 3GB, but that is not always the case.

Let me know if your system is a 32 or 64-bit OS. If not, then I will look deeper into this.
