I've been running a T61p with maxed (4Gb total across 2 slots) for around a year now without any issues. A lot of people I know with this machine have noted its extreme flakiness with the power connector causing mobo problems.. This is the first I've heard of memory issues, weird. Hopefully no blue smoke. :-)
