What is happening is that you have an onboard video adapter that is taking some of the system memory.
The total amount of memory installed on the machine is 512, but that adapter has about 128Mb memory dedicated just for video processing.
You could go into the bios and lower the amount of memory dedicated to video. But that would serve to slow down video performance.

you are sharing the ram with your onboard video... go in your bios and lower your video ram and you will get more for programs
