That is normal if you have onboard video/graphics that share the main memory. You are missing 32 MB which is probably assigned to the video. If you are having performance issues, you can sometimes adjust how much main memory is allocated to the video.

Having a separate video card eliminates the need to have shared memory, but this depends on whether your motherboard has a suitable video card slot available.
