Hi, I will be receiving 1gb more memory for my T60 in a few days, could someone point me to some installation instructions ? thanks.

the webshop recommends this product for my machine (T60-FUG):
Lenovo 1GB PC2-5300 CL5 SDRAM
I hope it's the right kind !

There are instructions in your thinkpad manual. I can scan those for you..

Do a search at www.lenovo.com using the keywords T60 & Movies. This will give you all the installation movies available which includes memory installation, palmrest installation/removal, etc.

thanks for the answers above,

I see the shop has two products that are suitable:

Kingston 1GB DDR2 SO-DIMM (Kingston code KTL-TP667/1G)

and

Lenovo 1GB PC2-5300 CL5 DDR2 SDRAM (Lenovo code 40Y7734)

the Lenovo branded memory is about 20eur more expensive, but is there really any difference between these two ?

best bet is to go with Corsair 1gb 667 mhz. It's available at BESTBUY in US or online. You can check the Value Select series online at corsair.com

I ordered mine, pop it in, works like a charm. Memtest for 3 days with no errors and been using it for about 3 weeks now.CPUZ shows my ram to be in dual channel mode

How do you check to see if your RAM is in dual channel mode?
Thanks.

If you'll notice, he isn't in the US.

Thanks.

Download a program called CPU-Z. Go to the Memory tab and it will tell you. Pretty much as long as you have two sticks of RAM in there, it will be in dual channel.
