The max Ram of the X230 is 16 gb
X220 is 8 gb
X200 is 4gb

Is these correct ?

It is not. The max memory for the X220 is 16GB and 8GB for the X200. Often the memory specifications are published when the machine is released, then never updated.

I can't show you were it's printed, but it does indeed take 16GB of memory. Many members here have done it.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it will someday be discovered that the x230 will actually support 32GB (16GB x 2)

I have a business partner who's currently in taiwan. He has located 16gb ddr3 modules (1x16gb). I have no idea if they're for sale, but one of the businnessmen he spoke with showed him some sort of pre production ultraportable laptop with 2x16gb ram.

I asked him if he could get some, but i havent heard back from him yet.

I'm guessing that'll be expensive.

Despite being speced out at 8GB, has anyone tried 16GB on an x201 and gotten full useability? Meaning the x201 (i5 540 @ 2.53GhZ) Meaning able to actually use the full 16GB? Thanks in advance.

It won't work, sorry. Trust me, I've tried this with a T410 (same generation as the x201) - I bought the RAM and it did not work - that CPU is limited to 8gb of RAM - it's all the memory controller can address. It's the reason I sold my T410 and bought a T420 - I needed 16gb of RAM.
