    Under this link: http://www.lenovoservicetraining.com/ion/W510/index.html

    The ThinkPad W510 is Lenovo's newest mobile workstation. The ThinkPad W510 shares the same mechanical as the ThinkPad T510, but features higher performance components such as:

    15.6 inch, 270 nit, LED, Multi-touch panel display
    Integrated Color Calibration
    Intel Extreme CPUs
    Intel Core i7 Quad or Core i7 processors
    8MB L3 cache
    Intel QM57 Chipset
    Support for 4 GB 1333 MHz (only) SoDIMMs
    Up to 16 GB DDR3 1067 MHz standard

    Does that mean if you want go for 1333 MHz, you can only have 4GB of them?

    What about this then...

    Nope. Only limitation imposed is the options you have in Lenovo's configurator.

    You can load it up with as much RAM as you can justify/afford.

    Check this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=5773823&postcount=25

    Also remember that memory MHz isn't the only metric for RAM speed. CAS latency also plays a large part.

    In the big picture though, memory speed and latency don't affect performance noticeably and more memory is only useful if you're going to use it...
