T450/T460 - use same RAM as T430?

#1 Post by serpico » Tue Jul 27, 2021 8:20 am

I have a T430 with 16GB (2 x 8GB sticks) of DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) RAM. Looking to upgrade to a T450 or T460 and would like to swap in the RAM from my T430. Is this RAM compatible with the T450 and T460 series?
T430: i5-3320M(2.6GHz), 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD, 14" 1600x900, NVIDIA NVS 5400M 1GB
W510: i7-720QM(1.6GHz), 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD, 15.6" 1600x900, 1GB nVIDIA Quadro FX 880M
T410s: Core i5 2.53GHz, 8GB RAM, 120GB SSD, 14.1" 1440x900

Goggle for: lenovo t450 psref (or t460, or any other Thinkpad)
It tells you all you need.

Thanks.

Looks like I'm good to go to swap RAM from T430 to T450/T460. Interestingly the same search for the T430 turned up DDR3, but the DDR3L RAM I'm using in it works fine.

doesn't T460 have DDR4 since its skylake?
but I think low voltage variants of sky and kabylake still had DDR3L.
