very often, yes.
i386 port has access to 32-bit (4 GB) address space but only allows you to use
up to 3 GB of RAM at most, the last 1 GB of address space is used for
addressing devices, and as others are saying here, video card shared mem also
eats up space <4 GB
openbsd didn't bother with PAE on i386, it's too

I've been looking at a bunch of notebook dmesgs (i386, single processor)
recently and have noticed that the value reported for 'real mem' is
almost always much lower than the amount of memory actually installed.
A typical example is
OpenBSD 5.0 (GENERIC) #39: Mon Aug 8 14:53:43 MDT 2011
