Hi Folks,

I have a T410 on its way to me, and I currently own a T400. As far as I can tell, the T410 has a 1066 MHz FSB. However, I see some sites recommending 1333 MHz memory for it. What's up with that? Basically, I'd like to know if putting a 4GB stick of my T400's PC3-8500 RAM in my T410 will hold the T410 back.

Thanks y'all!

this thread would apply to your question: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=91825

the only difference is in final latency numbers.

the short answer is that 1066 is the max you'll get even with 1333 installed.
