Memory upgrade in T420

#1 Post by tomjrc » Tue Jan 06, 2015 12:12 pm

HI! I was gifted a Kingston PC3 12800 4GB Sodimm 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM.I see in searching T420 takes 1333. Can I use the 12800 or is it incompatable. Thanks in advance.

You should have no issues using the faster RAM in the system. It will just run at the system speed instead of its speed.
