T500 2089-2KU and 4/8 gb ram

#1 Post by Eto » Thu Apr 25, 2013 9:27 am

The spec sheet for this model stipulates 4gb ram maximum.

Yet on ebay I see alot of vendors selling 8gb (2 x 4gb) for this T500.

So which is it?

thanks in advance Eto!

T500 do support more 8GB. At the time the T500 were out in the market there were probably no 4GB RAM modules. I have 8GB in one of my T500, and I'm sure I'm not the only one :wink:

According to the Ebay picture seems to be the right RAM
