Hi Nitin: Increasing the RAM on your laptop should not make any difference, unless there is a manufacturing defect. One of my laptop has 1GB Transcend RAM and the other has 2GB Transcend RAM. Transcend RAM is better than Memorex and Hynix RAMs because there are plenty of Hynix dupes. Yes, sans APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller), multi-core benefits are not realized. My suggestion is to 1. install Ubuntu 7.04 with noapic option 2. boot Ubuntu normally 3. post the dmesg output contents, so that we can decipher if the MP table is read correctly or not. Also post the output of 'uname -a' command. Hope this helps. thanks Saifi.
