I would suggest you to give us the output of uname -a
I suspect you are running the 32-bit version of FreeBSD and it cannot
address more that 3 Gb of RAM.
Must be a hardware issue, too. I'm running 7.2/i386 on a P-III box, and
the boot messages shows 3.9+ gigs 'avail mem'. I double-checked, no
mention
of PAE in the kernel config, either.
