[David McQuinn] “ny advice on getting Final Cut to see 4 gigs of RAM rather than 2”

I am betting that it is actually letting you use 2.5 which is normal

Because FCP is a 32 bit application the max it can use is 4 GB, now when you read the article I linked to you will see that FCP reserves 1.5 GB of ram for frameworks, drivers, etc.

There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!
