FAQ about Lenovo ThinkPad T410si RAM
How much RAM can I put in a T410si?
The T410si maxes out at 8GB total. You've got 2 memory slots, so you can either do 4GB + 4GB or replace whatever's in there with two 4GB sticks.
What type of RAM does the T410si use?
It uses DDR3 SODIMM memory - that's the smaller laptop-style RAM sticks. Make sure you get SODIMM and not the full-size desktop RAM or it won't fit.
What speed RAM should I get for my T410si?
The recommended speed is 1333MHz, also called PC3-10600. You can use faster RAM but it'll just run at 1333MHz anyway, so don't bother paying extra for higher speeds.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in my T410si?
Yeah, you can mix sizes like 2GB + 4GB, but you'll get better performance if you use matching sticks. The laptop will work fine either way though.
Do I need to remove the old RAM before installing new sticks?
Depends on what you want. If you're going for the full 8GB, you'll need to pull out whatever's in there and put in two 4GB sticks. If you've got one empty slot, you can just add a stick to match what's already there.
Will any DDR3 SODIMM work in the T410si?
Pretty much any DDR3 SODIMM will work, but stick to 1333MHz or 1066MHz speeds. Avoid anything too exotic or server-grade RAM - just get standard laptop memory and you'll be fine.
