LT and TazUK are right on this one. WM5 is similar to grown up Windows. Think of ROM as hard drive and RAM as system ram. The OS, programs, and a mirror of system ram (like WinXP hibernation) in case of power failure. RAM has a portion reserved for the OS, leaving 24-25mb for running programs.

When Palm says 128mb, 60mb user accessable, that includes system ram and unused space in ROM.
