YES! Your computer is showing the right count, 96 MB. Because, 2 RAMs of 64 MB each, means 128 MB total. Every normal PC needs 32 MB RAM for shared memory, for it's motherboard.
So...
2 x 64 MB RAM = 128 MB - 32 MB Shared Memory == 96 MB.
I hope, this answer helps you understanding the computer structure and it's needs for RAM.

If all you have installed is 128 meg (with 96 showing) it's seriously time to consider donating that dinosaur to the simthonean and getting a new pc.

i would like to add to what is already said..it is not the mother board that shares the memory..rather it is the on-board video memory on the mobo that is sharing it..
if u install a dedicated/separate.. video/graphics card then u will get back ur 32mb of ram
