[quote name='Tdogg2k8']Well i have the Toshiba A305-S6960
3gb Ram ddr2 (i just put upgraded to 4 gb, which i have another question about i'll put at t the end of this)
320 GB harddrive running Windows Vista Home Basic
Norton 360
I'm a light computer user... Itunes, VLC for videos, Websurfing, maybe play a low end game if i ever get time or money to buy a cpu one.
i think thats the toss up in my mind.. would it be worth me spending 50 bucks.
(although i almost feel like buying 2 or 3, since there is 3 limit at best buy then maybe selling the other 2 later make a profit. (Times are hard)
my other question after i put the extra gig of ram in my cpu.. my cpu still only registers it at 3 gigs in there?
is that because the other gig is being used with my graphics card perhaps
Its a run of the mill intel graphics media accerator one so nothing special[/QUOTE]
You actually answered both of your own question here with your second question. You see the reason you are only seeing 3 GB of ram is that you are probably running 32 bit windows vista and 32 bit vista has a limit of ram it sees. 64 bit Vista or 64 bit windows 7 (which should come standard with the upgrade, look into it), will recognize all 4 gigs of ram.
