Answer #1
32bit only shows roughly the first 3.5GB, the only way to use all the RAM is to upgrade the OS.

Answer #3
32 bit isn’t 4GB max memory it’s 4GB max address space and the PC hardware uses up part of that address space to access hardware such as sound card, graphics card hardware and memory, USB controllers etc Once you take all that off the 4GB address space you are left with around 3.25GB for the actual memory. The rest cannot be used by most 32bit Windows.
The only way to use all your 4GB of memory is to use a 64 bit OS.
