I've got the same issue with a i945.Despite the claim that the motherboard "supports" 4Gb and using a EM64T CPU, 768M were stolen for PCI. By playing with BIOS options, disabling all unuseddevices I trimmed this down to ~600M. In order to really use 4GB you need a i955X chipset.
I have an i965 chipset and I also lose 768MB of 4GB to the PCI hole (it's sort of ok, at least I was aware of it when deploying this machine).
However, my question is what would happen if I add more memory to the machine. I.e. if I boost it to 8GB would I still only get 3.25GB for Xen or would I get 7.25GB not having to bother about the hole in the middle?
