    Hello,
    I have an IBM thinkpad T41 with 512mb ram. I'm thinking of upgrading my memory with a 256mb ram. Only, I haven't really heard anyone ever talk of having 768mb ram before. Can I only upgrade with 512mb upwards? The 256 seems compatible in all other ways.

    Thanks. My apologies if this has already been asked.

    768 Mb will work fine, but, you could probably get a stick of 512 for the same price as a stick of 256.

    I've not checked the specific hardware specs, but its been my experience that there are no problems choosing a different size ram module for notebooks.

    Just make sure its the same speed, and if you want guaranteed compatibility, use Crucial's ram configurator thingy.
