Umm... NOTE HERE:
1KB == 2^10 bytes. that's 1,024. NOT 1,000.
1MB == 2^10 Kbytes. that's 1,024^2 bytes or 1,048,576 bytes Not
1,000,000 bytes
Therefore 96 MB = 96*1,048,576 or 98,304 KiloBytes, or 100,663,296
Bytes.
So your bios told you correctly that you had 96 MegaBytes. :>
It's just that your definition of a MegaByte was off.
