xp pro x64 bit and 4 gigs ram...?

Hi all, nOOb here.

I have XP Pro x64 bit, Asus P5B Deluxe, Intel E6600 2.4 Duo Core and 2 of 2GB DDR2 PC2-8500 SLI OCZ Memory (4 gigs).

I do a lot of heavy poly 3d modeling so this is why I've got what I have because I thought I would be able to use 4 gigs of ram, my system is totally bogging down and I only see 3 gigs in system.

Won't my specs be able to handle 4 gigs???
If it can will be please tell me what I have to do to activate it? If I have to go into the BIOS I'm good with that, just please be specific as to what and where in the BIOS.

Thanks so much!!!

Yes, they are in correctly.
But I keep getting virtual memory error and my system keeps freezing.
Any Ideas?

If Windows XP Pro x64 bit only sees 3 gb, does that mean I can't utilize 4 gigs???

Sounds more or less its a bios issue, normaly 64bit will see it with no problem.

Okay, do you know what I'm supposed to change/edit in the BIOS to get it working?

Im not sure on the name but i think its close to memory mapping. I would have to look at the manual so many different brands out there with different options and names.
