Unofficial maximum memory specs

2008-08-06T22:45:54Z

WolfWings: /* Working memory configurations */ 2*4 = 8, not 4.

Some ThinkPads are known to support more memory than their specs say. This page gathers information about those models, how much memory they can take and what special requirements that memory must fulfill.

Have a look at the [[Memory]] page for the official memory configs and partnumbers

==Working memory configurations==
The following table gives an overview of tested memory configurations that exceed the specified limits for that ThinkPad type.

#The memory module that was shipped with this laptop had the same [http://www.micron.com Micron] logo as the modules from [http://www.crucial.com Crucial], which is a division of that company.
# Memory for T60p spec is CL5, but this module which was CL4 works fine. The product page at [http://www.gskill.com/indexen.html G.Skill] describes it wrongly as a CL5 module.
#Some users reported the RAM module is in fact overclocked from 533MHz to 677MHz, hence some systems may report 533MHz and/or CL4
#Crucials website doesnt list Rendition memory, but the memory is clearly labelled as Crucial Rendition by several resellers
# Due to Intel 945 chipset limitation, addressable memory will be (4GB - I/O space) ~ 3.2GB
