-My ThinkPad X200 Tablet (type 7449-43U) came with 2x2GB DDR3-1066 SO-DIMM (PC3-8500) from Elpida as the OEM provided. -It's a Core2 Duo SL9600 model and Intel's datasheet doesn't show any maximum memory for the processor. -My Thinkpad X200 Tablet (type 7450-EYU) came with the same type of memory, from Samsung. -I haven't checked what processor it has. -

-Rumor is the X200 Tablet can take 2x4GB DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500) or possibly DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600). -I ordered a Corsair 2x4GB DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500) set. -I probably got bad modules as they're a bit finnicky, but I've managed to get 6GB reported in the BIOS so far by mixing them with OEM memory. -

+It's possible to have 8GB memory installed. +eBay seller laptopused correlates that DDR3-1333 dual-rank memory should work. Apparently for technical reasons the X200 Tablet must take 2Rx8 memory; two ranks of eight chips, and for 8GB memory, 256MB per chip (divide 8192MB by 2 modules * 2 ranks * 8 chips).

+OEM-configured laptops can have DDR3-1066 memory from Elpida or Samsung. +Laptop Mag says the laptop came with 2GB RAM by default and is upgradeable to 4GB but most laptops for sale secondhand have 4GB memory installed. +Types 7449-43U and 7450-EYU came with 2x2GB DDR3-1066 SO-DIMM (PC3-8500). +

I got in touch with eBay seller woosterpsu who was auctioning off an X200 Tablet to benefit the Electronic Frontier Foundation with 8GB RAM installed and reported in the BIOS. The seller sent me an image of the installed memory: a Hynix 4GB 2Rx8 PC3-10600S and a Dell P/N SNPX830DC/4G, both scavenged from other laptops. -These are confirmed working in a Core2 Duo L9400 X200T. +These are confirmed working in a Core2 Duo L9400 X200 Tablet.
