I see that the new X220 can thanks to changes that Intel made, however I'm wondering if this is possible in the X201 as well?

According to
thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X201: "2, 3 or 4GB PC3-8500 or PC3-10600 memory standard, upgradable to 8GB".

Yes but as far as I know it was not well known that the X220 could be taken to 16GB, can someone with more up to date info comment?

The
T410 supports 8GB modules. I'd be very surprised if the X201 didn't as well.

Link to the exact memory module parts you're using? I can't seem to find this anywhere. What version of Windows and what SP are you running?
