32 bit Microsoft Operating Systems only recognize up to 4 GB of RAM (some less than that). Only 64 bit OSes can currently see more than 4 GB.
If you have a capable OS and are still not seeing your full amount of RAM, then check and re-seat the RAM on the motherboard and make sure that you are following the correct seating configuration for your motherboard and bios settings.
