Ram install

[kylake]

I have a question about installing ram. My thinkpad now has 256 ram....I figure that is about the minimum for XP pro. I want to install 512 more. My question is can I put the 512 in the (easy) slot on the bottom of the thinkpad or since it already has 256 do I need to put the 512 under the keyboard and put the 256 under the laptop......does it make a difference as to which slot I put it into?

Both slots are "equal" - there is no need to populate them in a specific order. Generally the preloaded RAM is in the slot below the keyboard - and the slot on the bottom of the machine (considered to be the more "user accessible" one) is empty. That said, both slots are user accessible no probs!

So - to answer your question: Yes you can add the 512 stick in the open slot on the base of the machine

Thanks again Neil for the help......I knew in desktops the the slot could be important.

This is my first laptop and I didn't know what the IBM setup was....

OFF topic......how is the weather in Scotland?

Wet and rainy in Tennessee.....
