Poweredge T410 not seeing all the RAM

I have a SBS 2008 64 bit installed on a Poweredge T410 with 8 gigs of RAM, the System Properties shows that I have 8 gigs of Ram but the resource monitor shows the mem usage is at 95 percent using only 4 gigs of RAM, anyone know why it wouldn't be using the other 4? The RAM and OS are factory Dell installed.

By "only option", I mean when you order it online it is the only available configuration.  You can disable it just fine thouhg.

I'll have to check the Bios when onsite in the morning. Its running sbs 2008 standard. Dual Procs. I'll post back in the morning if mirroring is enable.
If you have remote access to the server, you can confirm in OpenManage (in the Memory section).  (In the morning is fine - just saying :))
Downloaded and installed open manage, server was in fact set to mirror, used the console to make the change, gave it a reboot and have all my Ram. Thanks guys.
