Lenovo X240 How Many Memory Slots 4,4/5 3678 votes
New RAM for Lenovo X240. Does this Thinkpad really have only one RAM slot? Or is there another one on the back of the board (i.e. There's one 4GB memory module soldered to the board on the X240, leaving one free slot and a 12GB memory maximum. I believe the bottom comes off the X240 with the removal of some screws, which gives you access to the memory and hard drive. It's all in the HMM if you want to take a look.

I'm considering buying an X240, mostly because of the screen resolution. One downside of the X240, is that it only accepts 1 single SODIMM, which to now were only available up to 8GB sizes. I do need more than that to process the datasets I use.

Has anybody tested these? Does the BIOS allow for 16GB?

They appear to have a module code IMM2G64D3(L)SOD8AG which appears to be the first 16GB, and can do DDR3-1600. They may become available by mid April at $300
This post suggests it won't work...

On the other hand, it was 'undocumented' that 2 8GB sticks could be used in X2xx series back in the day..
Adding a bit more info
A person from intelligentmemory says that a Haswell machine will not work with these chips, unless a change of the memory reference code, which is part of the BIOS. It is not yet 100% sure if it can be fixed by a BIOS update or not. On March 10, 2014, they did have a customer make it work on an Ivybridge E by modifying the memory reference code. Lenovo could work with Intel, and change this code.
