Inquiry:memory extension

#1 Post by aiwav741 » Fri Jun 20, 2008 9:16 am

I want to extend an additional memory 1Gb for my X61, wondering whether there's any special requirement for that? Or can i just bring a new one(any brand) and add it by myself? thanks a lot

Can be any other brand but make sure they are the same specification ie. bus speed etc

Easiest way is to remove the memory cover on the bottom of the laptop (you have to remove it anyway to install the extra memory).
The SODIMM will have a sticker on it stating the spec.

Lenovo has a "how to replace/upgrade ram" video on their website. I followed it and had no problems when I replaced my ram.
