This Toshiba doesn't do that.  I have tried all kinds of key combinations.
None worked.  I think it just does the hardware management inside
Windows at the Control Panel level.  I opened the computer and saw
that it had one stick of 256M in it so that was a pleasant surprise.  Now
I only have to get one more 256M stick to max out the ram.  If it had
had two 128M sticks I would have had to get two 256M ram sticks
to do what I wanted.
