FAQ about Lenovo IdeaPad S9 RAM
How much RAM can I put in my Lenovo S9?
Maximum is 2GB total. It's got 2 slots, so you're looking at either 2x1GB sticks or keeping one original stick and adding another.
What type of memory does the S9 take?
DDR2 SODIMM - the smaller laptop memory sticks. Make sure it's DDR2, not DDR3 or anything else. Won't fit otherwise.
What speed RAM should I get?
667MHz (also called PC2-5300). The system might accept faster RAM but it'll just run at 667MHz anyway, so save your money and stick with the recommended speed.
Can I mix different size memory sticks?
Yeah, you can do like 512MB + 1GB if you want. Just remember the total can't exceed 2GB. Matching pairs might give slightly better performance but honestly at this capacity it's not a huge deal.
Is 2GB really the absolute maximum?
Yep, that's the chipset limitation. Even if you somehow found 2GB DDR2 SODIMMs (which basically don't exist), the system wouldn't recognize more than 2GB total.
