Most Memory in A30p and A31p?

#1 Post by RWDPLZ » Thu Sep 20, 2007 7:01 pm

Now that I have the A31p up and running, what's the most memory I can add to it? I have a stick of 1GB PC2700 RAM in the A31p right now, IBM FRU 31P9835, and I've heard you can add up to 2GB (so another 31P9835)?

I also have a basket-case A30p coming in the mail that I can hopefully fix, what is the most memory I can add to it? It takes PC133 SDRAM according to the HMM?

According to this:

http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=2506

The A31p will take 2GB of PC2100 (or PC2700) RAM with the latest BIOS upgrade.

The A30p has PC133 RAM, and the maximum for this machine is 1GB.

Absolutely right. A31p takes 2 GB PC2100/PC2700 (1 GB max in each slot), and A30 takes in max 1 GB PC133 (512 in each slot).

All PC2100/PC2700 machines that I know of can take 1GB modules, i.e. a computer with two slots supports up to 2GB of RAM.

PC100/133 machines are much more complicated. Some can use 512MB sticks, others can't.
Microsoft Surface 3 (Atom x7-Z8700 / 4GB / 128GB / LTE)
Dell OptiPlex 9010 SFF (Core i3-3220 / 8GB / 8TB); HP 8300 Elite minitower (Core i7-3770 / 16GB / 9.25TB)
Acer T272HUL; Crossover 404K; Dell 3008WFP, U2715H, U2711, P2416D; Monoprice 10734; QNIX QHD2410R; Seiki Pro SM40UNP
