    I purchased my z61t back in Jan of this year and am now wanting to upgrade the stock ram (1gb x 1 stick, one slot open). can i put in a 2gb stick to make a total of 3gb of ram or only another 1gb stick? thanks for the help.

    The noteboook supports a maximum of 2 GB of RAM at the moment. So, its limited to a installation of one more 1 GB module. Lenevo may decide to release a BIOS update, which could increase it to 4 GB maximum, but its unsure if they will.

    The nappa chipset supports up to 3 gig of RAM. The new Santa Rosa chipset supports up to 4 gig of RAM.

    The Z61t most likely uses the Nappa chipset. Why don't you give tech support a call and find out.
