When ever you install memory on windows ie:128 mb sim card. your system will use a certain amount of it to operate.
the effort to just to show the amount of memory available, will use several megabytes
for example...click on start menu, click on settings and or control panel, click on system. the following window will show your system information and memory available.
It would show what you experienced. 120 to 124 mbs available. that is normal.
Get to know your system and take a windows course . they are free thru Cnet.com

When a storage media manufacturer reports the size of storage media, they use the word "megabyte" to mean "1 million bytes". Windows uses the word "megabyte" to mean "1,048,576 bytes" (1024 squared), which is the measure normally used for RAM. There's nothing dishonest about that, any 128MB card or hard drive will show up as about 122MB in Windows.
Advertisers above have met our
strict standards for business conduct.
