What You Should Know about the Lifebook P7230 Core Solo U1400 1.2GHz/2MBL2/533MHz/1GB/60GB/DVDMDL/GigNIC/abg/10.6"WXGA/VB

Not Much RAM for Multitasking

The more RAM your laptop has, the faster programs will run and the greater number of windows you can work in at one time. If your needs are simple and you rarely do more than two things at once on your PC, the relatively modest amount of memory that comes installed in inexpensive laptops will be enough. Today the standard amount of RAM shipped in most PCs is 2GB. If you like to multitask--say, you want to launch a search for a file and start backing up data to a disc while you watch a news video--you need more memory.
