Quite Simple
While initial swtiching on of system press del or F2 (depending on system to get in bios screen) and do following.
1. Check your bios setting . Surely you are sharing RAM with VGA. Just make it minimum in case you donot have AGP or any other PCI based VGA card.
2. This will get your RAM back.
All the best

You did not list the make/model so can only guess. But many newer computers share part of the RAM memory with the video card. Normally the memory used by the video card does not show up in the memory count. As you are missing 64m (which is a standard size for video card memories), I would guess that the card is using that memory. But the memory count will not show it because it is not available for Windows to use (except as video memory).
You can go into the BIOS of some machines and till it not to use RAM memory for video, but it may slow your video display.

In pc words, 1024 MB will look as one GB. What one ought to notice of nevertheless is that maximum or all manufacturers of digital storage which incorporate confusing disk drives save on with a greater literal interpretation: they use the genuine definition of giga-, that's a million,000 circumstances as much as mega-. subsequently, you will get a distinction between what you purchase and what you utilize. A 160GB confusing rigidity will look on your pc, as quickly as formatted, as approximately a hundred and forty GB, via conversion to one hundred sixty,000MB by ability of the producer, then the conversion from MB to GB that your pc performs.

you might use an onboard VGA installed in your motherboard. this kind of VGA is often used in low-level deskop/laptop. The VGA uses some of your physical memory (RAM). in this case, i think you have a 64 MB onboard VGA in your motherboard. you can gain access to your RAM by decreasing the shared memory (RAM) for VGA (read your mother board manual) or install a new graphic card. hope this help...

You probably have an integrated video graphics controller that is "stealing" memory from the processor. You can often change how much memory is used for graphics by adjusting your bios settings.

out of your 256mb RAM, 64mb goes in sharing physical memory or to improve your hardware acceleration like your video display and hence you are left with only 192mb RAM
