RAM Upgrade for T30 notebook

by Joe
(Philadelphia, PA, USA)

Hi,

Thanks for a very informative website.

My question relates to a IBM T30 ThinkPad notebook, and upgrading and expanding the RAM. I noticed, on another forum (OverClockers), that you indicate that you have 2GB installed on your T30. I also read, on most other T30 info sites including Lenovo's, that 1GB is the maximum these notebooks can handle (2 x 512MB). How were you able to install 2GB of RAM on your T30? Could you please provide details? I'd love to do the same if possible.

Thanks.

Hello Joe,

See this page for my experance with the upgrade:

Upgrade Your Laptop

The IBM specs dated 2002 states 2 512MB memory modules, that is true. But the memory management will take any memory module that is PC2100 compliant, thus the 1 Gig modules work. (At that time the 512MB module was the largest memory module made).

My understanding is that the BIOS will support up to 4 Gig, the same for any 32 bit processor.

I list the PC2100 memory on the page, I bought my Kinston memory from Newegg.com

One thing that is in my books but not on the page is the update of the BIOS but that is for the processor not the memory.

Hope this helps...
