Real vs available memory

I have a Dell Studio XPS 7100 that came with 4 gigs of memory.  I have 
added another 4 gigs but there is a problem using it.  The system BIOS 
sees the additional 4 gigs and apparently so does FreeBSD but I get this 
during boot.

real memory  = 8589934592 (8192 MB)
avail memory = 3400794112 (3243 MB)

How do I get use of the full 8 gigs?

Thanks,
Frank
