I know that on 32 bit system max number of memory cells in RAM is 2^32. But RAM in my computer show not exactly this size. Can someone explain why on 32 bit system size of RAM not equal max size of cells but varies(3.2 - 3.6 Gb)?

Two obvious possibilities come to mind:

  1. Your 32-bit system supports 4 GB, but you haven't actually installed that much memory.
  2. Windows reports less than 4 GB available, because some of the main memory has been reserved for use by the integrated graphics.
