Lenovo X240 How Many Memory Slots
Each Lenovo Flex System x240 M5 is designed to support up to 1.5 TB of memory in 24 DIMM slots running at up to 2133 MHz. The TruDDR4 Memory portfolio includes RDIMMs and LRDIMMs with advanced error correction for reliability, performance and maximum memory capacity. This item 8GB RAM Memory for IBM-Lenovo ThinkPad X240 (DDR3-12800) - Laptop Memory Upgrade from OFFTEK A-Tech 8GB DDR3 / DDR3L 1600MHz SODIMM PC3L-12800 2Rx8 1.35V CL11 Non-ECC Unbuffered 204-Pin SO-DIMM Notebook Laptop RAM Memory Upgrade Module. The use of 1600 MHz SO-DIMM memory is recommended for this system. 2 GB, 4GB, or 8GB memory Supports up to 8GB maximum memory Note: Only 64-bit operating systems support more than 3GB of system memory (RAM). Open the latches on both sides of the slot at the same time, and then remove the memory module Save the removed memory module for future use. Place the notched end of the new memory module toward the contact edge side of the memory slot, and insert the memory module into the slot at an angle of about 20 degrees.
Hi all,
I'm considering buying an X240, mostly because of the screen resolution. One downside of the X240, is that it only accepts 1 single SODIMM, which to now were only available up to 8GB sizes. I do need more than that to process the datasets I use. Has anybody tested these? Does the BIOS allow for 16GB?

They appear to have a module code IMM2G64D3(L)SOD8AG which appears to be the first 16GB, and can do DDR3-1600. They may become available by mid April at $300
This post suggests it won't work...

On the other hand, it was 'undocumented' that 2 8GB sticks could be used in X2xx series back in the day..
Adding a bit more infoA person from intelligentmemory says that a Haswell machine will not work with these chips, unless a change of the memory reference code, which is part of the BIOS. It is not yet 100% sure if it can be fixed by a BIOS update or not. On March 10, 2014, they did have a customer make it work on an Ivybridge E by modifying the memory reference code. Lenovo could work with Intel, and change this code.
Any ideas? Any Lenovo and/or Intel folks around?
