Added two piece of 2GB RAM but total showing 3279 in Ubuntu 8.04

I have added two piece of 2GB RAM in my mother board.
When I am typing "free -mt" command on terminal then it is showing 3279.

Here is output:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          3279        618       2660          0         14        278
-/+ buffers/cache:        325       2953
Swap:         5898          0       5898
Total:        9178        618       8559

IMO the total of two RAM will be 4096.
In BIOS settings it shows two RAM connected to two slots each having size of
2048MB.

Is the calculation in Ubuntu 8.04 done differently?

Any comment on this would be greatly appreciated.
