I believe it's normal. Just checked from the net and this the first page that comes up:
https://www.computerhope.com/memhlp.htm
Look at the given example mem outputs on the page.
It seems like you have 1Mb of EMS and remainig 6MB as XMS, adding 1MB of lower memory adds up to 8MB and this should be ok I guess. Is there anything wrong with any kind sofware? Any error reports from any programs you run about "not enough xxx memory" ? If not, probably this is the normal situation.
Just an idea, I always use "NOEMS" or "AUTO" parameters instead of "RAM" with EMM386.EXE. Could you please try that? (remove "1024", too).
To say the truth, I'm amazed I never took notice of this before. I'll check my DOS (6.22 and 7.1) rigs tonight and return back to you.
