So i have laptop acer aspire e1 531g   it have 4 gb or ram and 2x graphic cards

one intel hd 3000 and one nvidia geforce gt620m

i  use windows 7  32 bit (i know that 32 bit cant support above 4 gb but 2.3 is too low)

 In system information it show that it is only  2.3gb usable

and resource  monitor show that i have  4 gb installed but 1.7 gb  hardware reserved… is that graphic card?

You can allocate more ram from your hard drive space. Here's how.

click start, right click computer, click properties.

click advanced system settings over on the left hand side.

click the advanced tab, click the settings button on the performance box.

click advanced tab again.

click change under virtual memory.

check the custom box, and type in how many gigs you want (however you must convert it from gigs to megs, so multiply how ever many gigs you want by 1024)

(make sure initial and max are the same, so you all ways have that much ram)

click okay, and restart.

Graphics cards come with built in RAM (unless it's different on laptops) so it's not your graphics card. As long as everything runs fine I don't see it as much of an issue. If it is really bothering you though I suggest getting a RAM cleaner or figuring out what is causing it to use up so much RAM. It may a device driver not functioning properly or something similar to that. I wouldn't suggest following what IFX said because it's very ineffective based on how 32 bit can't have more than 4 GB. Since you already have 4 installed his method wouldn't work.

Really depends on the system. Some systems do allow you to sanction off your RAM for exclusive graphic processing. Go into your bios, you might be able to change how much it allotted. 

Check this thread out.
