current use. RAM is the fastest kind of memory to read from and write to. Information stored 
in RAM is lost when you turn off the computer. The higher the RAM capacity, the faster your 
current data can be processed.

The degree of sharpness and clarity of an image. Resolution is expressed in pixels. Frequent 
computer screen resolutions are 640 x 480 pixels (VGA resolution; appropriate for a 14-inch 
screen), 800 x 600 (appropriate for a 15-inch screen), 1,024 by 768 (appropriate for a 17-inch 
screen), and 1,280 by 1,024. LCD displays usually use a higher resolution than a CRT of the 
same size.

RGB stands for Red, Green, Blue. A cable that requires separate transmission types for the 
three colours on the display.

Synchronous DRAM is a kind of dynamic random access memory running at a much higher 
clock speed than regular memory.

The amount of RAM that is available on your computer when you purchase it.

A recovery process that enables you to recover the hard disk image initially available on the 
computer. Performing a system recovery is useful in the event of a serious system crash or if

VAIO Recovery and Documentation Disc. For more information, please refer to the 
Guide to Troubleshooting and Using the VAIO Recovery Documentation Disc.

Short for Thin Film Transistor. Top-of-the-range notebook display for excellent picture 
quality. The TFT technology offers the sharpest resolution for flat displays; each pixel is 
supported by one to four transistors.
