Kind of strange. 256 is on the board, I added 256 then decided to
upgrade to 512. I took out the 256 then installed the 512. I actually
experienced a slower machine. Anbody have any insight. Naturally I'm
returning the stick, perhaps it's defective?

When I was using my 3500, and replaced one of the 256's with a 512, i had an
improvement where expected.

What exactly are you using for your "baseline" measurement? Not everything
gets faster - you may be looking at something that won't be impacted by the
memory increase?

Launching of programs in general, working with these various programs,
even basic browsing seems appreciably slower.

Have you run Defrag on the machine since upgrading? If you've also
installed the XP SP2 and the Tablet PC Edition 2005, there are a whole lot
of changes. You might also be running into an accumulation of parasites and
Trojans from simple browsing on the Internet. You may wish to look through
some of the information here: www.aumha.org/secure.

The performance bottleneck isn't the memory.
It "must" be the CPU, with its defective power saving switch related
technology.

I have a Dynabook SS 3500, a Japanese version of the "same" thing.
The CPU runs no faster than 323mhz, but feels even slower.
I don't know how to makes it run faster.
My thin Sharp Actius Pentium2 300mhz laptop runs faster than this
Toshiba that claims to be a 1.33 Ghz machine.
Toshiba 3500 tablet PC users need to find enough users with similar
problem to demand a refund from Toshiba.
