When there is a difference like that in the RAM count, it usually means that you have a "shared" ram with a 64MB on-board video card. That's one of the reasons why it's good to load the computer with as much RAM as you can afford; it increases the number of applications that you can run concurrently without being affected by the hardware needs.

How do you write computers as a plural possessive?

The plural form would be PCs; the plural possessive would be PCs' (the singular possessive is PC's).Example: "Their PCs' memory cards were not of the same type."* Possessives are the reason that apostrophes are not used to form plurals. But they do appear occasionally in that role, where it is needed to indicate what is being pluralized, e.g. "He sent many SOS's." This is very seldom necessary.
