I am making some guesses here since we do not have a full model number. Using the lowest model number with 3GB of ram I am guessing that you have an L355-S7812. This computer is capable of running windows 7 and the drivers for running windows 7 x86 or x64 are on Toshiba's website. You can upgrade the ram to 4GB. Ensure you get your actual full model number before you do anything and double check the site information I gave you.

from your info I found it Satellite L355-S7915

Thanks for your help

Any recommendations rams sticks!

For the most part Ram is Ram. Get the lowest cost with a lifetime warranty with the fastest frequency supported by your chipset and the lowest timings you can find at your price point.

Thanks again.
You'd had me at lowest cost, but after that. How can I tell, you've been so helpful.
