Are you running Wheezy _inside_ VirtualBox with Windows 7 as the host OS, or is this a dual-boot system?
If the latter, wheezy should easily detect 8 GB and use them. In case of the former, you probably only allocated 4.7 GB to Wheezy in the VirtualBox configuration, hence the ‘computer’ Wheezy runs on only has 4.7 GB.
Best,
Claudius

Ah. That's the answer. Entirely my fault, I only allowed 5GB to the client.
