8GB DDR2 SO-DIMM Kit for ThinkPad T61

This 8GB kit contains two 4GB DDR2 667MHz SO-DIMM modules built for the Lenovo ThinkPad T61 and T61p series. It uses the 200-pin form factor and runs at 1.8V with CL5 latency. The unbuffered, non-ECC design matches the original specification for these notebooks.

Steady throughput on legacy platforms

At DDR2 667 speed the modules deliver consistent bandwidth for everyday multitasking on supported ThinkPad models. The 5-5-5 timing provides stable operation during extended sessions without the variability sometimes seen in generic alternatives. Performance scales with the dual-channel architecture of the host system.

Direct-fit modules with no spreader

The low-profile sticks install directly into the two SODIMM sockets beneath the keyboard or access panel. No heat spreader means they clear the tight chassis clearance of the T61 family. Buyers running a 32-bit operating system should note the OS will only address approximately 3.0 to 3.5GB of the installed 8GB.

Questions about this item

Does the 1.8 V DDR2 667 MHz kit add noticeable heat or fan noise during all-day use?

These modules run at the standard 1.8 V for DDR2 667 MHz and have no heat spreader, so they add minimal thermal load to the ThinkPad T61 cooling system.

My ThinkPad T61 currently runs a 32-bit OS; what must I change to use the full 8 GB?

You need a 64-bit operating system; with a 32-bit OS the system will only recognise 3.0 to 3.5 GB even though both 4 GB SODIMMs are installed.

Can I keep one existing 2 GB stick and add just one 4 GB module from this kit?

The T61 has two SODIMM slots; mixing a 2 GB module with a 4 GB module works but total capacity becomes 6 GB and dual-channel mode is lost.
