Have you booted with a "mem=4G" kernel parameter?  See if it makes a
difference.  Sometimes, you can specify something like "mem=4000M" and
get to use more memory.  I'd play with values over 3G and see how much
memory you can get Linux to actually use.  The answer might shed some
light on why you can't use all all 4G.

I seem to recall someone else had a similar problem about 3 or 4 months
ago, and it was related to where his BIOS thought his AGP aperture was
and how big it was.
