Mistake Problem installing program, not enough ram. Need advice

So I am trying to install adobe CS4 on my laptop (I'm getting a new computer around a year from now). However, it says I need service pack 3 (I'm downloading it right now), and 2Gb of ram. Right now I have 1.18 Gb. I have a Toshiba Satellite A65. After I install sp3, will it let me install even though I don't have 2Gb of ram, or will I need more? Also, if I have to buy more ram, I'm not sure what I can buy. I just got done looking on newegg.com, and all they had that was compatible with me laptop was 1Gb. Would I be able to buy 2 1Gb sticks of ram and install them on my laptop? I'm not too sure if I can install more then one stick. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

Re: Problem installing program, not enough ram. Need advice

Unfortunately, the Satellite A65 doesn't have the option of going to 2 gigs of ram. It has 256MB of nonremovable memory and then only one slot to add memory to, which has a maximum size of 1GB. So, you are maxed on ram already. Checked with Crucial, Corsair, and OCZ memory configurators and they all say the same thing.

Which CS4 are you wanting to install? According to Adobe, Photoshop CS4 requires 512MB with 1GB recommended.
