From what I see here, I got 1.96 GB of RAM.
How do I know how much RAM my labtop can actually have even though it starts off with 1.96 GB of RAM?
What does the first @ 2.00 GHz and second 2.00 GHz mean?
I noticed with the amount of RAM I have, the computer lags with 3 windows open. Why is this?

How did you come to the conclusion that the two are related? 3 windows of what?

Ah sorry. My mistake it was actually 9 window tabs open from other websites. Turns out the lag was caused from a Shockwave plugin that stopped working for Youtube videos.
One of the two will be just a string presented with the processor details and the other will be the actual speed it's currently running at (which can change if it's overclocked).
Thanks. I was reading up on overclocking and it is suppose make the computer faster but there are a ton of downside including using more power which generates more heat. Overclocking seems like a bad idea despite making the computer work faster.
Don't overclock laptops.
Here's your CPU and based on what I see it's a 64-bit processor which means you have the minimum for it at 2GB of RAM. When it starts "lagging" a little the OS (assuming Windows) is caching to the hard drive. If you have a 64-bit OS and vid card then you can go as high as 8GB. Why anyone would need more than that on a desk/lap top is beyond me. 64 bit means it can address a memory location in ram as high as 7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF or 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 and that's a whole lot of bytes!

640kB of memory ought to be enough for anyone! History repeats itself

Yes, though in practice most current CPU's only implement a 48-bit address space (there appear to be other technical difficulties with a whole 64-bit address space, check out this SO thread). Which should suffice for a decade or two, hopefully, but I have no doubt people will still manage to run out of memory when our computers have several hundred terabytes of RAM.
