I have a T61, which has 1 piece of 2GB RAM (samsung). If I buy another piece of 2GB to upgrade to 4GB, would it work with my orignal RAM?

Yes it will work with the original RAM, however your system might not recognize more than 3GB of the 4GB of memory, depends on your BIOS version.

Scuttle butt is: T60/T61 will only recognize 3GB max...at least w/ XP. Not sure of MS OS above that. Further, you need to match like types/mfg w/ RAM or afraid probs will arise. See thinkpads forum for more specific info...

yes you can upgrade to a maximum of 4Gb. Ensure you look at the installed memory which should be either ddr2-pc2-5300 or ddr2 pc2-6400. match the ordering of additional ram to what you have installed. Good Luck

Yes, but here's the deal - - if you already have 4GB and want to upgrade to 8GB, make sure both memory modules are the same (speed, legacy, etc) so they are sure to work well together and that you will benefit from the new ram. If you cannot find a mem module that is the same as the one currently installed, then it would be best to buy 2 x 4GB mods that are identical. I found the Hynix ram to be an excellent product.

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

Go to the Lenovo website and check for memory specs for the T430. I used it in my T410, it works great.

I added the 8GB stick to a new Lenovo laptop which already had 4GB installed in the other soDIMM slot. You need to make sure that 1) you match speeds and type with the existing RAM and 2) your operating system and motherboard support the amount of RAM you are putting in. If you mismatch RAM or your system doesn't support the amount of RAM it either won't work at all, or may operated at reduced speed or capacity.

It will depend on how many slots your machine has available for RAM. Look in your machine to see if you have an empty slot. If you do, then you can just put more RAM in the empty slot. If all of the slots are taken, you will want to replace one of the smaller sticks of RAM with a larger one.

the best way to find this out is to identify the mainboard and its memory capacity. As far as the physical fit is concerned, most of your older laptops will accept this SODIMM. However, once you ID the mainboard look to see what the RAM pin out is and compare the two. What I know is that the D630 is able to accept up to 8gigs of RAM. This set will work in it, but I would recommend maxing out; better performance.

I have replaced my one gb stick of ram with a 2gb stick of ram. Hope that helps.

I bought this precisely for a Lenovo T420. I guess it is not the same brand as the original memory, but I added it as an expansion to get the laptop to 8GB and it has worked perfectly, no crashes or stability issues since I installed it, even when I have seen the laptop run up to 7GB of physical memory used.

My suggestion is to go to the merchandiser Crucial Ram.They have a program which analyses your computer and will tell you what types of RAM are compatible. In general though my rule of thumb is that if it fits properly in the slot it will work (ie the computer will recognize the extra RAM)but that doesn't mean if your run a benchmark test before and after the installation that it will speed your computer up. The computer will default to the speed of the slower RAM.

no 1gb sticks will not increase your ram you would have to have 2- 2gb sticks (ram) to increase to 4gb I think you only have 2 ram slots so that is the only way to increase ram.

Yes. 2gb works fine. I have upgraded to 2gb via Kingston Platinum 677mhz memory with no issue. I used this module from Best Buy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Kingston+Technology+-+Platinum+Series+2GB+PC2-5300+DDR2+Laptop+Memory/8669602.p?id=1196470791607&skuId;=8669602&st;=2gb%20laptop%20memory&cp=1&lp;=3

Probably. If it fits in and locks down properly it won't hurt anything. The only question is will your chip set recognize it. My T60 will quite happily accept 2 2-GB but will only recognize 3 GB total.

I have a different model of Samsung Notebook and they work great. Best practice is to get the same memory that's in your notebook now ... ie. open the DIMM bay and write down the model of the memory that in there now and duplicate it.

I put it in a Dell M6700. Seems to work just fine. There should be no problem using faster ram than your computer can handle. Slower you might have an issue.

I do not know. You will have to either check your manual for the specs or Samsungs website. The specs will tell you if your machine will accept 8 gigs of ram. Some have a limit of 4 gigs. It will also tell you exactly what kind of ram it uses.
