Newbie Question: decimal variable type

Hi, folks!
I read somewhere that the decimal variable type uses 128-bits in
memory for each variable. However, I read from other sources that the
decimal type only uses 96-bits to store the number.
Does anyone know the real number and why there might be a discrepancy?
TIA...
