Well it's not a "work" work laptop. I bought it to do work for my study on it so I'm the IT department [img]smile.gif[/img]

There was this trick the sellers used to check how much ram was used for video. Properties on my computer and then check how much ram was supported. What was missing was used for the video card. I have 512 MB and this reports 496 MB. So I use 16 MB for the video card.

The bios is really limited. It has 2 screens and I don't need a password to enter (yet). It only lists total memory as 512 MB. Further some battery, boot and display stuff. Second screen is device config but only allows changes to IRQs and enabling/disabling some extra things.

I'm now going to try the product recovery dvd.
