I need 2x 4GB RAM, a total of 8GB, in my upcoming Thinkpad X200s laptop. Before buying, I would like your advice on which modules to choose.
I've been looking at Corsair's Value Select (P/N: CM3X4GSD1066) RAM, because in my experience they produce good RAM modules.
However, Corsair lists 7 clock cycles for their modules while Lenovo lists 5 clock cycles.
What do you think? Is Lenovo modules the best choice? Are they the fastest/most stable, or is it the Corsair modules? Or modules from a third vendor?
Thanks in advance!
1That is not true. Lenovo only "supports" 4GB I guess, but the hardware can take 8GB. It's used by many X200s users and other thinkpad users. – Tommy Jakobsen – 2009-09-10T15:33:08.283
1while it 'may' work, the only sound advice is to stick with the manufacturers recommendations. or discuss the matter at the thinkpad forum where some users are discussing the matter. obviously someone's got experience with 8 GB in the x200s. i'm pretty sure they'll gladly share their expertence with you. registration is free :) as for the Corsair Value Select memory modules, they're good bang for the buck (as the name suggests) but nothing to write home about when it comes to performance benchmarks. i'm using some CVS 2GB DDR2 myself. – None – 2009-09-10T17:44:11.640
But the Intel GM45 chipset supports 8GB RAM. So it would be odd if it does not support it? – Tommy Jakobsen – 2009-09-11T16:47:54.243
