I don't know where to find this as there is no sticker on the Ram sticks this is all te info I have

Is that a ddr3 6670 ??
If so I have a sneaking feeling that's its the GPU reserving the memory as it has the ability to boost its vram with system ram - I had a model ages ago that would do exactly the same.

If you remove a ram stick & the reserved ram drops as a percentage of total ram installed then it will confirm it.
