64-Bit Computing. 64-bit processors are designed to take advantage of 32 and 64
bit computing.
64-bit computing requires that the following hardware and software require-
ments are met:
64-bit Operating System
64-bit CPU, Chipset and BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)
64-bit Device drivers
64-bit applications
Certain device drivers and/or applications may not be compatible with a 64-bit
CPU and therefore may not function properly. A 32-bit version of the operating
system is preinstalled on your computer unless explicitly stated that the operating
system is 64-bit. See "www.pcsupport.toshiba.com" for more information.
Memory (Main System)
Part of the main system memory may be used by the graphics system for graph-
ics performance and therefore reduce the amount of main system memory avail-
able for other computing activities. The amount of main system memory
allocated to support graphics may vary depending on the graphics system, appli-
cations utilized, system memory size and other factors.
For PC's configured with 4GB of system memory, the full system memory space
for computing activities will be considerably less and will vary by model and
system configuration.
Battery Life
Battery life may vary considerably depending on product model, configuration,
applications, power management settings and features utilized, as well as the nat-
ural 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 may not charge while computer is consuming full power.
After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at maximum
capacity and will need to be replaced. This is a normal phenomenon for all bat-
teries. To purchase a new battery pack, see the accessories information that is
