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
requirements 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.
Core™ 2 Duo or Core™ Duo Processor.
Intel
® Dual Core Technology is a new technology designed to deliver
improved performance to the notebook PC. Performance or compatibility
may vary. For more information on Intel’s Core 2 Duo processors, visit:

See 64-Bit Computing Legal Footnote, if applicable.
Memory (main system)
Part of the main system memory may 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 may vary depending on the
graphics system, applications utilized, system memory size and other
factors.
For PC’s configured with 4 GB 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 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 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
batteries. To purchase a new battery pack, see the accessories information
that is shipped with your computer, or visit the Toshiba web site at
