3 GB.
Four will *work*, but only three will be used.

What Spheric said. The upper 1 GB cannot be addressed by the Intel chipset.

FIne, the iMac chipset must be the same as my MacBook then. I've looked in About This Mac and the System Information screen from that, and they both say I've got 4GB from 2x2GB memory modules. Does it say anywhere in the system that its actually reading 3GB and not the whole 4GB?

Open Activity Monitor, choose the System Memory tab. The total usable RAM is printed below the pie chart. You can also add up the four categories (Free + Wired + Active + Inactive) or (Free + Used). Each of these should total to your usable RAM.
