Well, today I bought a 4GB ram stick, yet I had 2 GB, so I'm running them both on the dual channel mode.
I go to my computer, and it says "6GB of ram installed. (3.25 usable)", I can't understand why does it say that...
I've searched, some people say to update my BIOS, some say that you Win 7 32Bit can only run 3.25GB of ram...
So, what should I do?

Check if your system is capable of running 64-bit Windows and upgrade if you can.

Normally a 32Bit version of windows 7 will only run up to 4GB of RAM memory. So it depends on what OS you have, the 32bit or the 64bit version. If you have a 32 bit version i would replace the 2GB one with the 4GB or just install another windows version(64Bit).
Like calgon said, if your os is capable to run 64 bit, upgrade the os.
If not, reinstall the windows and install the 64 bit os.
your pc will run 64 bit fine, without a problem.
A little off topic, but I just found my "Roller Coaster Tycoon" CD.
Specs - minimal: 50MB disk space, 16MB RAM
Recommended: 32MB RAM
Ultimate: 64MB RAM
Lol.
