The machine has ROM which is "Read Only Memory". Basically this memory is permanent and cannot be erased easily. The operating system and built-in programs are stored in this memory. A part of this ROM is unused and can be used by the user for storage. It is called builtin storage.
The machine also has RAM which is "Random Access Memory". This is memory used to store programs, store data, run programs, etc. It is volatile and gets cleared if you do a hard reset. Anything that you add or change in your machine is stored to or changed in this memory.
Any memory cards that you add are in addition to this. You can store programs and data in the builtin storage or in the memory cards and they are not changed if you do a hard reset.
To see how much memory you have, go to Start>Settings> and there is a button for memory. It will show you how much is used of each type of memory.
