you can use a diskspacer that doubles the capacity of your flash drive (it compresses existing files and increases logical capacity) but reduces access speed drastically. i wouldn't recommend it since flash drives are meant for fast file transfers via USB.

to make it clear, 1GB = 1024mb\n\nand in case you still don't know what laptop to buy, i would suggest to have a look at the Dell Inspiron E1505\nhttp://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/entnb_e1505?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn#

I see from the Toshiba site that most current Equium Laptops are coming with 512/1024 MB onboard with a maximum memory of 2/4 GB. If your laptop only came with 256MB then I must assume its a slightly older model. You will need to be more precise on the model description for accurate advice. Look for the Label with the model description and or the S/n of the machine Toshiba would then be able to  tell you more. As an Alternative www.crucial.com are always very helpfull and have a model based memory selector!

Check your computer's specifications...usually found online someplace if you look up the model number and make.  Sometimes it'll tell you what the maximum memory is for your computer.  It doesn't matter what sizes you put in there to make up the numbers as long as (I'm thinking) it's within your max memory.  I seen some older computers only a max of 128RAM....was time to ditch those badboys.  I'm running 512mb right now...two 256 sticks.  Computer runs great even doing videos while running other programs.

Every motherboard has a part number, usually next to the serial number.  Copy it down, type it into Google, and it should come up with the specs of your MB including the type of memory required.

This number (512 or 256 etc etc) does means that, that many bits can be accessed simultaneously. That is more the number more the data that you can access and process.

Simply add more ram.\n256 less than adequate.\n512 adequate\n1gig plus is ideal

***Many lame answers*** 2 * 512 MB and I GB are same performance wise. However the 2 * 512 takes up two slots and may make it costlier if you plan to upgrade your laptop to 2 GB. In the first case you may have to throw both the existing memory cards and add two new 1 GB. In the other configuration you can by oly one new 1 GB card and upgrade to 2 GB. Or even you can  buy one 512 to upgrade to 1.5 GB. If I were you I will go with 1 * 1GB.

The ram which I assume is what you are talking about, can be upgraded from 256 to 512 yes... You will need to find out what type of ram you need...\n\nto find out what ram you need use this http://www.crucial.com\n\nit will ask you for your make and model, then tell you what type of ram you need. It will also give you prices, but dont buy from them, just write down the type of ram, and search your local stores for it...\n\nIf you wish to buy it online, try http://www.tigerdirect.com or http://www.newegg.com
