Hope that this helps, Mark (Who used to have a Thinkpad 240 :))
------------------------------------------------------------- ThinkPad 600 ? 288MB ? ?
* 416MB = 256MB low density PC100 SODIMM + 128MB PC66 SODIMM + 32MB PC66 on-board. It matters which SODIMM you put in which slot. This was first reported working on the Thinkpad Mailing List, and it worked error-free for me.
The 600E (2645-8A0) with Bios INET36WW accept two modules of 256MB. The ram modules have 8 chips on each side. That results in 544MB. (RAM Typ: Micron MT16LSDF3264HG-133E4 PC133 CL3 sync). Processor is an Intel PII 366 PE, installed platform is Windows XP Pro with SP3.
