Thanks for advice, George. I will return the memory for exchange. I don't think my RAM slot has defect, because it works just fine when I plugged in my old RAMs (2x1GB DDR PC2-5300).

Having owned numerous ThinkPads (including all varieties of X60) with the chipset in question, I will state that they work with no issues with 2+1GB, 1+0.5GB, 2+0.5GB as well as 2x1GB and 2x2GB. ? I believe that you have a defective RAM stick, or slot or another hardware issue altogether. Running a memtest 86 on one stick at the time, one slot after another would be a good start. ? While you can physically install 4GB and have BIOS recognize it, only 3GB will be usable due to a chipset limitation, regardless of OS used. ? Proper RAM for these machines is PC2-5300 667Mhz. ? Good luck. ? Cheers, ?

I upgraded my x60s' ram to 3gb, which each slot 1x1gb and 1x2gb, both are PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM SODIMMs, and it starts to hang after a lot of programs opened. I've browsed and found that Intel 945 would only works with balanced ram for both slot, and for using 2gb ram, should use PC2-4200. I want to use 4gb ram in total, which I except the consequences of available only 3gb on 32bit system. My questions are: 1. Can my x60s hold a 4gb ram? 2. Should I installed 2x2gb PC2-5300, or 2x2gb PC2-4200? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
