Are you running the 32bit (i386) install of Ubuntu? If so (and you have 
appropriate hardware, i.e., Intel Core2Duo, Pentium D or AMD Athlon or 
Athlonx2 64) Download and install the 64 bit version to see the full 4GB.

Hi Soo_Hyun

I think that's a left over from the old DOS days. Your missing memory would be 
the approx 640K base memory. The rest is extended memory. That's how I recall 
it. Someone will either correct me or expand on this
