    Will T520 get USB3.0 and 4 memory slot if we configure it with quad-care, such as i7-2720 or higher?
    Someone on the forum said so, I just want to confirm.
    Thanks

    According to the hardware manual, the T520 does not support 4 DIMM slots regardless of the CPU.

    Only the W520 with a quadcore i7 will get you 4 DIMM slots (max of 16GB RAM). USB 3.0 is standard on this model. Likewise you can get USB 3.0 on the X220 but you must configure it with an i7 processor.

    It's because as I said, only the X220 and W520 have USB 3.0, and only the W520 has 4 DIMM slots (when configured with a quad core i7).
