So, i have Asus X550DP with A10 5750m, APU HD 8650G + GPU HD8670M and 4GB RAM
And when i check on "My Computer" properties, it shown that i can only use 3.2GB from 4GB ram

And when i check at "Resource Monitor" on my laptop, it says that 814MB of my RAM is used for "Hardware Reserved"

I have checked my maximum RAM settings on msconfig, and its disabled (Which mean it will use maximum RAM maybe)

And i don't have memory remapping settings on my BIOS.

Is it because my Integrated Graphic Card? or is there anyway to remove this thing?

Thanks before and sorry for my bad english.

as thymanbearpig said the APU using some of system memory as video memory..

it's normal..

edit: i don't know a way to set the memory igpu use, maybe there an option in bios maybe there aren't,
maybe disable cfx reduce the vmem.. (don't have any experience in it)

anyways i think, don't need to do anything, the benefit for gains more memory by making the vmem smaller
may not as big as you think, and there will be downside too.... (your apu/igpu crippled)
