The X300 seems to support 8GB[1], however may need some tweeking runnin with Linux[2]

X60

On my Intel Core Duo (Yonah) 1.83 GHz I have 2x Crucial CT25664AC667 R 2GB sticks. This is the result:

free -m
            total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:         3033        275       2758          0         11        148

Hey Paul, I have the same model with a 2GB Kingston-Module at the moment. (The reseller changed the orig 1GB-module by retail-reperation)

Do you guys really think that the Intel i945 Chipset is not capable to handle the full 4gb? (like stated in footnote 3)

Intel themselve say:

     "Up to 10.7 GB/s of bandwidth and 4GB memory addressability for faster system responsiveness and support for 64-bit computing."

The Wikipedia states 4 gig as well.

Are there any other reasons than your expirience with your laptop and ram-module combination to threaten everybody with a t60, r60, x60 or x61 model to upgrade their ram to 2x2gb?

Otherwise I would try and buy me a seccond ram module (to waste more for the gma950) and then suggest to take that footer out.

Or are there any reasons, I don't see them??? --Nonix 23:18, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
