Ok ... really ... the preloaded software is loaded into ROM at the facrory, and the left over space is made available as "Built-in storage". This memory is non-volatile ... does not need power to "remember" and does not get erased in a hard reset.
The 64mb of RAM is volatile. The OS lives and runs in RAM ... usually taking up less than 15mb, depending on what you have running. The rest of the RAM is available as "Storage memory" for loading extra programs and files.
The operating system need some room to function, so if you fill up the storage memory, it will slow to a crawl as it fights for space. The slider tries to keep plenty of space for the OS and programs to work, but you can easily cramp it by loading too much stuff.
