Thank you very much for this video. I used it to help me install more RAM in my w520.

Thank you very much. I used this to bring the memory of my new W520 up to 16Gb.

Does anyone know if it is possible to use 2 2GB sticks and 2 4GB sticks in a W510 for a total RAM of 12GB? What kind of RAM do I need to buy?

Tanks, mate!

[KVVinitsa]

Thank you. Works perfectly for the W520 as well. Super video!

Had a hell of a time getting in that little bugger under the keyboard -- but danke für das tolle Video!

Thank you for the excellent video! One minor note - the keyboard takes two screws, both marked with a keyboard graphic on my W510.

Thanks, great video!

Another observation I did: my machine already had two sticks under the keyboard, so I put a new one in the right slot in the bottom of the machine. It didn't work. So I tried to put it in the left slot, and then it worked.

I don't know why it did, but it worked when I moved it. I hope this might be useful information for someone. :-)

That was easy! Danke!

Very helpful - many thanks for this...... It would be useful to see how the RAM modules are paired between the various DIMM slots... I read somewhere that the RAM should be matched in pairs one in under keyboard slot and one in under machine slot.....

This is in order to achieve maximum RAM performance....

@amirraz99 - Yeah...funky, but to get the machine to use dual channel you have to do it that way. Something about keeping it matched (0-1, 2-3 being together) would make the hardware manufacture crazy complicated.

Hi, danke für das tolle Video. Die Slots unter der Tastatur hätte man sonst vergeblich gesucht.

Kannst Du evtl. noch hinzufügen, welche Speicherbänke sich wo befinden, also welche man z.b. belegen sollte, wenn man nur 2 Bänke belegt...

Der Anschluss der Tastatur wirkt sehr einfach.  Er sieht eher wie ein richtiger solider Stecker aus, ich bin dort eher diese Folien-Klemm-verbinder gewöhnt. Handelt es sich hierbei wirklich um einen richtigen Stecker?

[PathworksKriens]

@segafr33k In der Regel sind nur die RAM unterhalb der Tastatur belegt (z.B. bei 2x2GB). Die hinteren Slots sind in den meisten Konfigurationen noch frei, können also noch mit zusätzlichen RAM belegt werden.

@PathworksKriens Danke :)

Wo hast du den Ram gekauft?
