    I think it allocates that as it needs it, so you're not really losing anything. I believe the catalyst control center has options for adjusting the maximum that can be allocated. How much physical memory does task manager say is available to the system?

    it says that there is 4 GB. put system properties says 3 GB which im asuming is because of the 1 gb stolen by graphics? because im running 64-BIT windows so its not because windows cant handle it.

    Well, try catalyst control center. But again I believe it's dynamically allocated memory so the number will change based on what your system is in need of (video or system memory)
