good day, dear Endeavor-experts,
…i have two T520 (beside a T420S and also a X220) with the standard RAM. And as i am a big big fan of these robust notebooks i want to add more RAM to it.
i want to add more RAM: how ot find out which one fits best:
i guess its best mehtod is to run the command:
sudo dmidecode --type memory
Let us have a closer look at the T420 now:
on the T 420 (and the X220) to see which ram is necesary:
Code: Select all
sudo dmidecode --type memory
253:0 0 116,2G 0 lvm /var/snap/firefox/common/host-hunspell
/
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
ubuntu@T420s:~$ sudo dmidecode --type memory
[sudo] Passwort für ubuntu:
# dmidecode 3.4
