Are you running a 32-bit OS? 32-bit W7 can only "see" and use about 3.3GB of memory, any extra is wasted. Then your video takes some of that.

If you want to use all 4GB then you need to use the 64-bit version of W7. And switching from 32 to 64 bit requires a complete W7 OS reinstall.

I see you have 64bit. I believe that 1GB of the 4 is reserved because you have a 1GB video card.

See HERE.

I wouldn't take out any memory.

Every time you update the BIOS you take a small chance of "bricking" the motherboard. So if you know it's not something you need right now then I wouldn't.

The picture is so small/low resolution that I can't read any of it but you should leave boot settings to default and I have no idea what difference changing them makes.

I don't have the time nor the inclination to join every image hosting site out there. You can upload pictures directly to your posts if you hit the "go advanced" button and then use the "paperclip" icon.

Why are you changing Advanced Boot Options within MSConfig?

Take the check mark off the number of processors and maximum memory. You shouldn't be restricting your system this way unless you have a specific reason to.

There is no wonder you only have 3.0GB usable memory, when you cap the system at 4GB during the boot process.
