How do you get 526 MB of memory? Is that a typographical error?
Memory is usually in some multiple of 128 MB or 64 MB minus any
shared memory used for the onboard video card. Your memory would be
512 MB or 768 MB and so one. Perhaps you meant 256 MB. I have
fumble fingers sometimes but I think that my keyboard does not have
equal responses to key presses and some keys get sent before the key
pressed before it. My letter "o" gives me problems. I'll intend to
type "memory" and it will come out as "memroy."
