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.

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.

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 normal for all batteries. To

purchase a new battery pack, see the accessories information that shipped

with your computer.

HDD drive capacity

One Gigabyte (GB) means 10

9

= 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10.

The computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using

powers of 2 for the definition of 1 GB = 2

30

= 1,073,741,824 bytes, and

therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also

be less if the product includes one or more pre-installed operating systems,

such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software

applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
