8gb RAM on T61?

#1 Post by lumangoy » Tue Jul 19, 2011 5:40 pm

I just install a 750gb WD scorpio black and put in Windows7 64bit. I currently have 4GB RAM.

Can I upgrade to 8gb RAM? I read the specs max out at 4gb, but some have put in 8gb?

I have the 7661-LU9.

I have very minimal apps on the host OS. I run mostly VMs.

thanks!

Yes you should be able to use 2x4GB sticks. See the Thinkwiki Unofficial maximum memory specs page.
Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E

I suggest you see the thread Intel 320 SSD on T61, doable? and especially from this post and on.

By the way, kindly allow me to point your attention to this very useful search-script made by HarryC - try it out, and you'll learn how to find answers to many questions... already answered in great detail! :wink:
