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.

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. Computers configured with a 32-bit operating system can address 

up to 3GB of system memory. Only computers configured with a 64-bit 

operating system can address 4GB or more of system memory.

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.
