The RAM restriction of 32-bit Windows is 4GB. Then peripheral devices like graphic card, controllers etc. hog some RAM. That's why you won't get full 4GB available when Windows is launched. On average you get a little over 3 to 3.5GB available in Windows.
I don't get where all people get this idea that a 32-bit windows OS can only use 4Gb of memory. Ever heard of PAE? The limit for 32-bit Windows 2003 Server Datacenter Edition is 128Gb!
