Okay, so you're saying that if we buy four X1s with the upgraded RAM plus a W520 (or whatever), we could get a 32GB W520 for only $1800 more than the price of the four X1s and the W520. I guess that could work for some situations.
The USA W520 page is still listing just 4GB parts, as is Lenovo's upgrades/accessories page.
But it does seem interesting that they can offer that as a $450 upgrade. Currently the best source I'm seeing for 8GB DIMMs is from OWC, selling a 16GB kit (8GBx2) aimed at Mac users for $1499, or about $250 more per module than Lenovo's inferred pricing.
Can you post a FRU# for the 8GB part?

Time to remove AUSMIKE from the pipeline

No more middlemen, with over inflated prices...
Samsung:

Other brand:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-ELPIDA-8GB- ... 27bd62ac5c
ALMOST there now...ALMOST within temptation pricing...
Reminds me of the time(1994) when I purchased a gargantuan 16M (yes, MEG) memory stick for the 'bargain' price of $618. This, plus the 4M stock stick, got me FLYING with a total of 20Meg...

Here another one
http://www.compuram.de/arbeitsspeicher, ... e,W520.htm, € 272,60 ~ $ 393.30, it is in German language but the retailer is giving an 10 years guarantee that displayed RAM sticks work with W520. And it looks like it is Elpida manufactured, the reference number is 03X6401, looks the same one which Lenovo build in X1 models, see the second picture ("Miniaturansichten angehängter Grafiken") here
