    Hey guys i just recieved my laptop. :). fujitsu S2110 on the mail and I'm looking at the system specs.

    Athlon Turion mobile 800 MHz
    478 RAM
    76 gigabytes
    Xp home edition

    dont know what else to list. But these specs seem low to me.

    when i bought this it said i would get 1.6 ghz 512 Mb ram 80 gig harddrive.


    am I reading these things wrong , not taking into account some things? or what? Im not talking about the ram and harddrive so much. Im more concern about the processor speed.





    PS: I will upgrade the RAM aftermarket.

    The processor downclocks itself. The hard drive is the right size...people terms and computer terms are different... in an 80GB it is actually 78.125GB...plus if there is a restore partition that doesn't show it would be even less.

    The memory might by what is available...that isn't being used.

    That is the only thing that I can think of. :)

    Hope this helps.

    512 - 64 = 478 ram, the 64 is the onboard ram taken by the 200m.

    And yea, 1 byte = 1024 kb, and if you do the math, it doesn't necessarily add up right, as USAFdude mentioned.

    78GB sounds right. Since manufacturers count 1mb as 1000kb. So if you do the math 80000kb/1024kb should be 78.1GB something. And if you take some space of for the restore partition it would come out to be 76GB as you stated. Oh btw.. I don't want to be an ass.. but 512-64 != 478. He probably has it at 32mb. Which means he can push it up to 64 if he wants.

    On my XPS M140 it has a restore partition. Instead of being 60GB's its 50GB's. I'm guessing that the restore parition takes up around 8GB's, although I havn't checked.

    No restore partitions on Fujitsus so don't go searching for one :)
