Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows?
32-bit can only recognized around 3gb of ram...not all 4gb of your ram can be addressed by the system.
You want to use all 4gb, you have to use the 64bit version of Windows (or linux)

Or, if you use 64-bit, you might want to add discrete graphic card. If you don't have any.

i m using 64 bit and my graphic card is 4850 512 mb so as its shared so im getting around 1600mb ...dont know what to do

Do you have a discrete video card on a board with on-board graphics? You may need to make sure to enter bios and set the onboard video to disabled. That will allow the memory share to stop.

no onboard graphics
