It is possible to put more than 2GB in a T43 nowadays since there are larger modules. But, due to the Intel 915 chipset limitation, addressable memory will never be more than 2GB. So it would be a foolish waste to install more.

2GB is Max.
Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E

Hi,

is it not possible to delete the limitation of the Intel 915 chipset?

Thanks and regards.

No...

Easier and cheaper to move on up to a T61 or newer model that supports more RAM, if you really need it.

Intel made the 915 chipset with a maximum of 2 GB. :)
