"AT LEAST" are two harsh words.
:o)

To answer your question, assuming I understand what you are asking, if =
you
only put 3GB of RAM in your system, the BIOS and system hardware will =
not
reserve as much as it would should you put 4GB. The first two gigs will =
go
to your applications and OS, the remaining will start passed on to the
hardware.

I'm trying to find a smoother article on the topic, though have been
unsuccessful so far.
