Anyone familiar with this?

So I went into System info (In Vista Ultimate 64) to just check how everything is going and I noticed this for my RAM:

Total Physical Memory: 8GB
Installed Physical Memory: 4GB
Available Physical Memory: 6.5GB

Can anyone explain why the installed phys. memory is showing 4GB?

I went into BIOS and all sticks are showing up, Welcome Screen is showing 8, system monitor Gadget is also showing 8gb. Is this just a quirk with Vista 64 or SP1?

TIA!
