Then why the false reporting in the actual OS?

This site also confirms it, along with the explanation why only 3GB will be usable. It's our old friend, the 32 bit memory limit cropping up in the chipset, and needing the 3-4GB window for addressing space.

Well I'm at least used to that, though I'm more used to it being something like ~3.7GB available. Why the difference?
