32 bit OS or 64 bit?
If 32 bit that is the limit.

32 bit OS or 64 bit?

The image the OP attached reflects a 64 bit OS and Processor, so.....
My best guess is, since it looks like it may be a laptop with the "M" designation on the processor, onboard video claiming a portion of the memory.

I'm glad it was someone else for a change.
