32bit OS's can only address 4GB's or RAM total in the entire pc, that's including cached ram on the drives and and VRAM. Windows does a pretty good job of allocating ram between all the components when and where its needed. Why anyone is still using a 32bit OS in this day baffles me.

So, 4g ram + 2g video still = 4g useable?
