You can never have all of the 128MB, because Windows takes up some of
this amount. The sum of the two numbers is about 127,880 KB, which is
pretty close. (Don't pay any attention to the division of memory between
these two numbers: it is entirely arbitrary on any OS but plain DOS.
Only the sum counts.)
