That's a limitation of 32-bit computing, not a fault of the OS or installed software. The only solution is to reformat your computer and start fresh with a 64-bit version of Windows, which may or may not be offered by Acer.

P.S. Vista's SP1 makes an adjustment so that it reports the full 4GB, but still is only capable of using the 3.25GB.
