Lenovo X240 How Many Memory Slots

Posted on  by 



When a user wants to add or upgrade memory (RAM) in a computer, they need to know how many memory slots are available. The following section helps you to determine the number of memory slots in your computer, and how many are used.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X240 is a powerful business laptop sporting a Core i5 Haswell CPU, a speedy solid-state drive, and a 12.5-inch IPS touch-screen display. You'll pay top dollar for this well. Lenovo only tested 128GB when they released this machine, but you can absolutely use larger edition, I believe at least 512GB would be good. Do not try to use SDXC card as a major source of your storage as your data may be dangerous bc SDXC is far. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. Sell x240 and buy one of these notebooks many are available up to i7 and two memory slots. Even the newest x series is still 1 slot. Best thing for 12.5' notebooks are with my preferred choices on M.2 slots over mPCIe. HP EliteBook 820 G3 skylake 12.5' 2x memory slots DDR4, M.2 NVMe-SSD OR SATA (requires a 2.5' caddy).

Windows Task Manager

The easiest solution for Windows users is to open the Windows Task Manager.

  1. Press the Windows key, type Task Manager, and then press Enter.
  2. In the window that appears, click the Performance tab (A), then select Memory (B).
  3. In the lower-right corner, the number of slots is displayed in the Slots used: section (C).
  1. As you can see, this computer has a total of four memory slots, although only two are currently being utilized.

Use the CPU-Z utility

Another way to get information about memory slots and details about the RAM currently installed on your computer, is to use the free CPU-Z third-party utility.

  1. Open an Internet browser and visit the CPUID website.
  2. On the left side of the screen, select your operating system.
  1. On the next page, select your preferred language.
  1. On the next screen, click the DOWNLOAD NOW! button.
  1. Once the download has finished, install it from your browser and open the program.
  1. Click the SPD tab at the top of the screen, and then click the down arrow in the Memory Slot Selection section.
  1. As you can see in the image above, all of the memory slots are listed on the drop-down menu.
Tip

If you select a different slot from the drop-down menu, CPU-Z will tell you additional information about the RAM that is installed.

Examine the motherboard

Sometimes the best way to determine the available memory slots is to open the computer and examine the motherboard. Opening the computer is the best option if were unable to get the Windows Task Manager or CPU-Z to work.

Looking inside the case, the motherboard is the primary large circuit board. On most motherboards, the memory slots are on either side of the CPU, and resemble what is shown below.

Most computer motherboards have two, three, or four memory slots. Some higher-end motherboards have as many as eight. The above motherboard picture above has no memory modules installed in any of its three slots.

Note

If your computer has no memory slots available and you want to upgrade, you must remove and replace some of the existing memory.
