Why:

In August 2023, xLargePremiumLinux was updated to have 128 GB of RAM.

This was caused by https://github.blog/changelog/2023-08-04-codespaces-gives-you-a-free-upgrade/ - more specifically "[...] include twice the RAM, [...]"

Closes: #39687

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):

The following sentence is being updated "You can choose from a selection of virtual machine types, from 2 cores, 8 GB RAM, and 32 GB storage, up to 32 cores, 64 GB RAM, and 128 GB storage."

More specifically: 64 GB RAM in up to 32 cores, 64 GB RAM, and 128 GB storage to be more accurate.
