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?

A 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.
