There is a setting in your BIOS to will allow all 4GB to be used.. not sure if you have but you should..

If not you could always try running msnconfig and forcing it to run 4GB of ram

What kind of BIOS setting???
And I tried setting the MSCONFIG to 4096, and 0, as the links say. 4096 doesn't change diddly-squat, and 0 forces 256MB. 256MB... That took awhile to recover from.

I dont know about your mobo but asus has an option called memory remapping in the bios. gotta turn it off for 64 bit OS. Anything you do in windows will not work.

Or maybe turn it on i forget, but im sure thats your problem.

Turn it on
Its also sometimes called blackhole memory remapping or or more commonly memory remapping as you have said,or sometimes even blackhole recovery which just plain sounds awesome.
