"Have you upgraded the BIOS? There is a BIOS update for your model (HP m8530f) on the HP website that might do the trick M2N78-LA Motherboard BIOS update improves security support, and fixes incorrect memory size being reported in Vista when 4GB or more is installed.

There is a good page on the HP Site that walks you through upgrading to Windows 7 and covers know issues and solutions etc."

Assuming the memory is correctly detected in the BIOS, run MSCONFIG, open the Boot tab, click Advanced Options, make sure that Maximum Memory is not capped.
