256=192? Laptop RAM

In 'My PC' properties, computer says I got 192 MB of RAM,
but I just checked the memory chip and it has a big sticker
on it saying it's a 256 MB chip.
I'm going to upgrade anyway but why does this happen.

Because a lot of laptops graphics chips 'share' the main
RAM. In your case 64MB is being used.
