More RAM

#1 Post by sachinjauhari » Wed Jul 05, 2006 7:19 pm

Hi All,
I am using a Thinkpad X20 2662 with WinXP Home and 192 MB RAM. Should I expect a significant surge in performance if I replace the 128 MB module by a 256 MB one, making a total of 320 MB (Max an X20 can support)?? Cheers!

Yes.

Yes you would. I owned a x20 maxed out and it ran much faster than with 192mg.

Not to hijack the post, but has anyone actually tried a 'bigger' stick of RAM in a x20? I have ran into some PCs/laptops that will work fine with more RAM than the manufacturer says will work...

The chipset in the X20 series can only handle 512MB, iirc. Put in a 512MB stick and you're over the limit and the system won't boot. It would be possible if there were a way to hack the BIOS so that the 64MB RAM on the systemboard was disabled. I've never heard of this being done on an X-series, though I've heard of it on older models...
