Just from the numbers you provided + Kernel, I get 4.00 GB.
(But, that's probably over simplified...)

This sure does not work for me.

Graph (In use I assume) = 1.09GB = 1116 MB
Total = 2045 (which is correct I have 2 GB installed)
Cache = 1133
Kernel (non paged) = 90
Free = 54

So 1116 + 1133 + 90 + 54 = 2393 > 2045

In fact on my PC just the Cache plus In Use ALWAYS adds to more than the Total Installed
