Because Photoshop CS can only address a maximum of 2GB of memory, and 
in fact it only looks at the first 2GB, some of which is used by the 
OS, leaving a maximum of 1.7 GB available for Photoshop.

See http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/322829.html for the 
official details on this and advice on the best Photoshop settings if 
you have lots of RAM.
