missing RAM

[Patrick_Boyd at Dell.com]

No RAID is not taking up this memory. In all likely hood your on board
video card might be using this memory.

I was told that missing RAM (as seen in Linux) on Dell systems is due to

RAID cards taking it up.

Is this true? And why is it the case? I thought RAID cards usually have 
their own memory.

e.g. (if you divide to 1024, you don't exactly get 8G)
2950:
$ cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:      8165900 kB

2650:
# cat /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:      8053752 kB
