Installed physical memory vs. total physical memory

Question

I just got a pair of 2gb ram cards and installed them in addition to my two older 1gb cards, which according to my BIOS and my system info gives me 6GB of RAM... But my systeminfo also tells me I have only 2.93 GB of total physical memory... Where'd the other three or so go? Is this normal? I've also heard that it could be Vista messing that up, and if so, how do I fix it? Thanks!

If you are running Vista 32bit version of windows then that's normal. Only 64bit Vista or XP will see all 6GBs.
