Total RAM amount change by 1mb after reformat

I reformatted my PC because I got a SSD. Prior ISLC showed 32727 mb of RAM, after format and instal SSD it shows 32726. I'm not concerned about 1mb but curious what would cause a change, as its not the free memory but the total physical amount.

My first guess would be hardware reservation. Each added hardware reserve memory. But like you said 1mb on 32gb ram is not something to really care about.
