"Weird Al" was, in fact, making a song, not a rigorous piece of technical journalism.

"I got me a hundred gigabytes of ram" flows better lyrically in the song than "I got me a hundred-twenty-eight gigabytes of ram".

Whether he knew the details of typical memory module sizes or not, it's such a minor inaccuracy that the lyrical flow matters far more.

Anyway, I bet you could achieve it if you really wanted to try. Get a dell poweredge server with 24 DIMMs, install 12x8GB (96) + 4x1GB (4) for your total of 100, and with 8 DIMMs leftover.
