I have purchased a 4GB kit (2X2GB) but the motherboard detects only 3GB.

the problem is that BIOS detects only 3GB not the operating system. I have updated the bios but didn't work. Do you know about hidden settings of the bios? How can I enter into these settings?

The problem is that you are running a 32bit operating system. Due to the 32bit addressing, it can't address more than 3gb of memory. The only solution would be to use a 64bit operating system. Unless you are using very intensive programs though, you shouldn't need more than the 3gbs of memory your computer recognizes. If you must use the 4gbs of memory you can buy this

first you need to update to the latest bios from asus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asus . after you have updated go to your system bios. select the advanced tab, then select chipset then set the northbridge memory remap to enable. this will fix your problem. any questions email me
