You'll still need a 64 bit OS to see and use all of the 4GB. Cheers!
Then Acer didn't follow the guidelines Microsoft set out for netbooks because it was limited to 2gb only in order to quality for Windows 7 Starter edition if OP does have Starter version installed by default. Sometimes the hardware is 32 bit and wouldn't address the 4GB either.
