Well on one of my computers (my bedroom one if you care to see the specs) has Vista x64 on it, with a motherboard capable of having 4GB of ram, and well it only sees 3191MB of my ram, not 4096, could that be because the GPU is integrated?

Yes. Go into the Bios and see if you can lower it down to 128m.

In the bios, enable Memory Remapping - this is more than likely disabled

ok just checking because some times vista non sp1 will do that. NO but resetting the seeings and some other things should fix that but it is still odd because even if it maps it it should still show up

An add on PCI-E video card will disable shared video memory in the BIOS.
