I just installed an additional 4GB totalling 6GB and System
Properties and the Task Manager reports 3.25GB, but in System
Information does show the total RAM.

My total RAM is available correct? Even though the other two info
only reports half?

Windows XP Professional 32bit or 64bit?
32bit only supports 4GB maximum - and then, because of assorted reasons, you
will not usually see more than 3-3.5GB to utilize.
64bit does not share the same limitations.

What makes you think you need that much memory?
