Grats on your purchase~ Nice lappy You need to register your warranty here: http://www.toshiba-asia.com/portal/public/...rentTab=service And check your RAM (whether its 2GB or 4GB), and check your Windows OS version (32-bits or 64-bits). Depending on what you get, you may need to convert between 32/64-bit OS to better utilize the RAM you have |

QUOTE(junnsiang @ Jun 23 2011, 01:00 AM) You'd noticed that you're just using around 2.98GB of RAM, meaning there's still 1GB RAM you're not using. You might wanna consider converting to 64-bit systems since the laptop is still new and there's not much data stored inside yet Oh ya, before you convert (which involves a reformatting-like procedure), its bests that you create your 4 recovery medias 1st (using the Recovery Media Creator) on the desktop Below is the procedure for conversion: QUOTE(PF TJ) Dear Toshiba users, It seems lately nearly all Toshiba notebooks are equipped with both 32-bit Operating systems (Windows for this case) as well as 64-bit Operating systems (which are installed into the hidden HDD partitions of each notebook). Notebook sellers prefer to start up the whole notebook with 32-bit OS , mostly because of the shorter time required to boot the whole system. Since 32-bit OS can only support around 2.98GB of RAM, those who bought Toshiba notebooks with RAM upgrades (to 4GB RAM- models include Satellite L510, Satellite Pro L510, M500, M300, T130, F60 etc.) will not be able to fully utilize the RAM. This can be settled by converting your 32-bit OS to 64-bit OS. You can do it via recovery from the Toshiba hidden partition itself, or via the 4 system recovery discs that you burnt when you 1st got your notebook The guide to Toshiba's HDD system recovery can be found here: cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/.../PMA500339010_web.pdf Generally, it would be easier to conduct the recovery from the Hidden partition than the recovery discs (noneed to keep on changing discs XD ) In general, the steps involved are: 1. Make sure you backup all important files, EVERYTHING will be reformatted (except the Hidden Partition) when you recover your system. Noneed to worry about drivers and Toshiba programs as they are included in the Hidden Partition/Recovery discs. 2. Plug in A/C adapter and if possible, plug in the battery just in case of blackouts (in Malaysia) XD 3. Shut down your notebook. 4. Press and hold the "0" and the "power" button. A window will appear asking you whether you want to load a 32-bit or 64-bit windows. The remaining will be easy, just choose the "recover to out-of-box state" (Actually noneed to change anything, as for the subsequent windows, the initial ticked box will be the recommended one) XD 5. Partition reformatting will commence. Initiate the next step. 6. After that, leave everything to your notebook, it will restart on its own for quite a few times (to install the drivers and programs), may take up to 1-2 hours depending on your system. You will be configuring your OS in no time. I guess that's all, hopefully this will help those who wanted to switched to 64-bit OS i.e. Eguy1314 ^_______^ ** Be warned, Toshiba's feather touch buttons may become unresponsive after switching, still looking for answers for that one, it seemed there are no drivers for these buttons zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Anyway, Do refer to the link above for more elaborated details Best of luck!

^ Backup all your data (only your files, not the ones that come with the computer since they'll be available again after reformatting
Just remember that: 1. Connect to socket with your battery intact 2. Let the laptop do everything, it'll take up to1-2 hours and the laptop will auto-restart for quite a number of times , DON'T SHUT IT DOWN WHILE ITS RUNNING like many Tosh users did LOL That's about all~ Not too hard |
