I could stick a 2gb card in this laptop but I won't because I only
ever use it normally for teaching and demonstration and it putters along
OK for that. I am using it for Ubuntu just for email at present to my
Linux lists so again it suffices for that.

10.04 has not worked fine on that desktop with its 2gb RAM although on
this laptop it appears stable.

We do juggle titles for things.

In Windows the memory is displayed like that but to most ordinary users
know physical RAM as that memory stick you buy.
