64-bit Operating System 64-bit CPU, Chipset and BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) 64-bit Device drivers 64-bit applications Certain 32-bit device drivers and/or applications might not be compatible with a 64-bit CPU/operating system and therefore might not function properly. Memory (Main System) Part of the main system memory might be used by the graphics system for graphics performance and therefore reduce the amount of main system memory available for other computing activities. The amount of main system memory allocated to support graphics might vary depending on the graphics system, applications utilized, system memory size, and other factors. If your computer is configured with more than 3 GB memory, the memory might be displayed as approximately 3 GB only (depending on the hardware specifications of the computer). This is correct because the operating system usually displays the available memory instead of the physical memory (RAM) built into the computer. Various system components (like the video adapter's GPU and PCI devices like Wireless LAN, and so on) require their own memory space. Since a 32-bit operating system cannot address more than 4 GB of memory, these system resources overlap the physical memory. It is a technical limitation that the overlapped memory is not available to the operating system. Even though some tools might display the actual physical memory built into your computer, the memory available to the operating system is still approximately 3 GB only. Computers configured with a 64-bit operating system can address 4 GB or more of system memory. Battery Life Battery life might vary considerably depending on product model, configuration, applications, power management settings, and features utilized, as well as the natural performance variations produced by the design of individual components. Published battery life numbers are achieved on select models and configurations tested by TOSHIBA at the time of publication. Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery might not charge while computer is consuming full power. After going through many charge and discharge cycles, the battery loses its ability to perform at maximum capacity and needs to be replaced. This is a normal phenomenon for all batteries. To purchase a new battery pack, see the accessories information that is shipped with your computer. User's Manual 7-19

Certain 32-bit device drivers and/or applications might not be compatible
