I have the need to have 4 GB Ram for a certain program. It had a 2GB and a 1GB Ram. So I removed the 1 GB card and replaced it with a 4GB card for a total of 6GB. Once I started the computer it showed that 6 Gb was installed but only 2.9 GB was available.
 
Solution
What mobo and CPU? Possible the sticks aren't compatible, possible you are running a 32bit OS (only can use about 3.5GB), possible mobo won't use 4GB sticks
