Well 32bit I dunno as none of my x32 boxes have more than 2GB. Process Explorer lists 4,192,372 here on Win7 x64.

They adjusted the reported amount for x32 but it was a minor 3GB fractional amount not to report fake full 4GB.

Incorrect unfortunately. There were so many complaints/questions from
people with the "I have 4GB installed why does it only say 3.5GB" that
Microsoft now reports the INSTALLED memory as the full 4GB, but you
still can't use it all. I believe in 32bit Windows 7 you can see the
true number in task manager or process explorer.

Microsoft isn't kidding when they say 4GB for windows 7. They are not
mapping things above that. They just removed showing you the real number
in the system tab.
