    My guess would be that the .3gb is being used by the onboard graphics. Mine uses up about .8Gb of memory.

    Yep, it's true it's because you're running an APU, so a integrated graphics in your CPU chip.

    If you are not playing any demanding games, you can reduce this amount in BIOS. I would set it to 128MB or 64MB, even 32MB to keep as much as possible RAM for the system.
