Product: HP NOTEBOOK 2000
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Here's my problem straight. I bought a 4.00 GB ram for my HP NOTEBOOK 2000 laptop but when i inserted it and i go to properties i keep seeing this thing: Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.60 GB usable) but why!? and what does that mean! does it mean i only have 3.60 GB ram? where is the rest? can i change that or stop it or something can i do anything about it? or go cry in corner for wasting almost 150 dollars? Help is really appreciated.

It's normal...the computer has assigned .4 gigs to use for video. You spent $150 for 4 gigs of RAM??
