Do you have integrated graphics in your computer or a separate graphics chip? With integrated graphics, the system grabs some memory from main memory for exclusive use by the graphics system. I'm not sure how that would affect meminfo output and it would probably depend on whether your BIOS grabbed the memory or the Linux kernel/X server did.
