Upgrading RAM in a lenovo ThinkPad T420

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi,

Output from dmidecode on my T420 tells me this about my current memory
setup:

I'm interested in upgrading to 16GiB RAM.

There is an 8GB x 2 memory kit on Amazon UK.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JCRZ6XS/ref=pe_19532261_824759761_em_2p_3_lm?th=1

I'm wondering... is the Amazon kit compatible with a ThinkPad T420?

This isn't the cheapest of all options but stuff by Crucial has proven to
be useful so far...

TIA,


Ian
