This probably means your motherboard is only capable of using 3.8 gb of the 4. My laptop is just like that I upgraded to 4 gb of ram but it can only use 3.8 gb of it.

Only time iv seen this was when using RAMDisk (a program that turns RAM into a sort of mini HDD but VERY FAST), might be because the RAM is being used for something permanently? Not too sure, sorry for not being much help.

System memory is probably being allocated to your GPU if the GPU does not have dedicated video memory. What the GPU uses will be subtracted from the usable memory.
