what is the 2nd. memory socket in my laptop used for other than extra memory? see details?

The socket is for RAM only, of course you could hide a piece of paper with your personal info on it in the empty space and smuggle small things in it as well.\n\nThis is the the best answer.

it might me the motherboard or the ram. \n\nthe usb is on the motherboard anf you can not just replace the usb on it.\n\nmemory because a memory post beep would be a stedy beep on a laptop.

your problem is not the ammount of memory your pc can handle but the type it can use, see computer memories have different names and numbers those mean the type of memory that it is and the ammount of Hertz that the speciffic stick is rated at. The best thing to do is to get the same kind of memory stick that you were previously using and make it 2Gigs or 3 that way, dont worry, nothing is broken, it is just a symple mistake.

In your laptop's manual, it shows where the slot is.\nToshiba's website does also.\nhttp://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_docTOC.jsp?moid=191877&ct=UG&soid=210682&BV_SessionID=@@@@1296195937.1164673138@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccchaddjhhgkedhcgfkceghdgngdgmm.0\nClick Printer Friendly Version\ngo to page 49 for a picture of your machine and the memory expansion slot.

The difference in memory installed is probably being used by your video card.  It looks like around 22MBytes.

I don't have your laptop but my laptop has the same DVD writer. It says it can read/write DVD-RAM but I have not tried one yet. You may need to update firmware or try different brand DVD-RAMs.

DDR RAMs will not fit in a SDRAM slot. For utmost details:\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/ram.htm

Yes it is possible but almost all problem lies on the memory module itself.  You can test it by using the other free memory slot.

There is nothing to fix.  You are using a system that has a video card the uses part of your regular memory to operate.  (Standard in all Dell desktops and most other brands).  Because the video card is using the memory, it is not available to Windows, so it does not list it when it shows the system memory.

Sounds like a couple of old 72-pin SIMMs...unless someone has a 5 year old (or older) PC they need to keep running, that memory isn't worth anything.  Personally, I glued magnetic strips to some of my old memory & use them to hold documents on my white-board at work.   :o)\n\nLooks like maybe you'd get a buck or 2 on eBay...  (see link)

NOT THE MEMORY AS U SAID:\n\nOk after a bit of research I have found out that this laptop problem has a few problems one is a problem with the power supply which does not seem to be  your problem but another one which may actually be the root of your problem is that supposedly there is an overheating problem which causes the laptop to cut out here is a blog about it:\n\nhttp://www.laptoprepairguy.com/laptop/2006/01/04/toshiba-laptop-overheating/\n\nThis seems to fit the bill. Hopefully this helps

Do you have the original 64mb still in the computer, and you just added a 512mb card? If so, your BIOS might not recognize the additional memory; you'll have to do research to determine if this is the case.\n\nIf you swapped the cards, though, you might have a bigger problem: older computers often had limits to the amount of memory they could use, and even though sdram is now available in multi-GB amounts, your computer's bios may only allow a maximum of 64mb of it to be used.\n\nYour best bet here is to (a) make sure you've purchased compatible memory, (b) swap the cards instead of installing both (if you haven't already), and (c) check the manufacturer's site to see what the maximum memory amount recognized by the system is.
