FAQ about Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E120 RAM
How much RAM can I put in my Edge E120?
Maximum is 8GB total. You've got 2 slots to work with, so that's 4GB per slot max.
What type of memory do I need for this laptop?
You need DDR3 SODIMM modules. Make sure it's SODIMM (the smaller laptop kind), not regular desktop RAM which won't fit.
What speed RAM should I get?
1333MHz (also labeled as PC3-10600) is what you want. The system might accept faster RAM but it'll just run at 1333MHz anyway, so no point paying extra.
Can I mix different RAM sizes?
Yeah, you can do like 2GB + 4GB if you want. Just remember both sticks should be the same speed (1333MHz) for best results.
Do I need to match RAM brands?
Not really necessary, but matching specs (speed, voltage, timings) is more important. Mixing brands usually works fine as long as they're both DDR3 1333MHz.
Will faster RAM like 1600MHz work?
It'll work but automatically downclock to 1333MHz. Save your money and just get 1333MHz unless the faster stuff is somehow cheaper.
