FAQ about Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 13-inch - [DDR2] RAM
How much RAM can I put in my Lenovo Edge 13-inch laptop?
Maximum is 4GB total. You've got 2 slots to work with, so that's 2GB per slot max.
What type of memory do I need for this laptop?
You need DDR2 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure it's DDR2, not DDR3 or DDR4.
What speed RAM should I get?
667MHz (also called PC2-5300) is what's recommended. You might find faster DDR2, but it'll just run at 667MHz anyway in this system.
Can I mix different RAM sizes or do they need to match?
You can mix sizes like 1GB + 2GB to get 3GB total, but matching pairs (like 2GB + 2GB) usually gives better performance since it enables dual-channel mode.
Is upgrading from 2GB to 4GB worth it?
Definitely helps with multitasking and running newer software. The jump from 2GB to 4GB is pretty noticeable for general use, though this older DDR2 system will still have its limits.
