After 4GB XP cannot address the physical memory and thus it's wasted.

2 to the 32 second power is (rounded) 4GB. That's all that a 32bit processor can physically address. With the 3GB switch on the Kernel is given 1GB of physical RAM and everything is given the remainder 3GB. Normally the Kernel is given 2GB.
