Why does my sytem only uses 3.2GB of my 4GM RAM?

4.00GB (3.25GB usable) in Windows 7 x64
6 answers
A pair of RAM was installed in a Windows 7 x64 16.04 Ubuntu dual-boot Dell Optiplex 320 box. Upgrade from 2GB => 4GB
I realize that usable space on a hard drive is typically ~10% less than the stated size, however
- Isn't 3.22 GB usable a bit on the low side?
- What is a reasonable expectation?
- How to test if RAM is defective?
- Is this low reading a Windows peculiarity?
- Can I conclude that both 2GB modules are physically installed correctly?
If the gap is because of the GPU + Windows taking memory, how can I measure that the 4GB was actually delivered by the RAM Modules?

That is a machine from 2006, a generation that regularly had limitations and prodded the boundary of 4GB limitations. All of the pieces of hardware in the system take a chunk out of the addressable space on such a machine. If you have a dedicated graphics card then it will mask out RAM for the rest of the system.
