    Lenovo's website advertises:

    4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067MHz SODIMM Memory

    CPU-Z reports: DDR2

    Who is correct?

    According to the actual ram in my notebook it is DDR3
    CPU-Z has been known to read things wrong in the past.

    this has been cover multiple times... if you care to search the forum.

    CPU-Z has problem reporting DDR3.

    The X200 uses DDR3.

    you don't need instructions... both RAM slots are underneath your x200. Just remove that panel that is held by two screws.
