T40 -- want to increase RAM

#1 Post by gerrychevelle396ss » Tue Sep 02, 2008 6:49 am

I have a T40 with 516 RAM. If I purchase additional RAM, do I insert it in the slot on the bottom of the T40, i.e., I would not have to take the T40 apart?

Sounds like you either have 2x256Mb ram (1 internal, 1 external) or 1x512 Mb ram (internal). You can add 1x1Gb external without taking the computer apart (remove the cover on the bottom of the computer) or you can remove the keyboard and upgrade the internal slot also to the 2x1Gb max.
