That model number isn't correct or something; google isn't showing anything for it. Regardless, you should be able to right-click my computer, properties and see your total RAM listed there.

I seriously can't find squat about the laptop. Even on Toshiba's website, they offer no real support for the system...

Just download CPUz. Under the memory tab, it should list what type of RAM your running(DDR or DDR2) Make sure it's DDR2 as that's what you purchased.

As The_Other_One said, download CPUz and it should also give some reference to the mainboard in the system, which then can hopefully be cross-referenced to find out if this RAM is right for you.

I found the specs on your system here
