It sounds like the RAM isn't being detected. What does the BIOS show?
Either way, the maximum amount of RAM you will be able to access (without

Enabling PAE does not help in 32bit Windows clients, but it does Servers
(Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Editions and later). See the Windows Memory
Limits table for details.
