Q for the RAM gurus?

Advent Pentium 1.8, 512 Mbs RAM, mobo graphics, triple boot (XP Home, W98SE and Linux Pro 8.1. In a moment of boredom I checked the RAM details in XP System Info. Total physical memory - 512, Available physical memory - 286.01!!! No programs running, so it seems a bit of an excessive loss somewhere. Can anyone offer an explanation, please?
