Upgrading RAM (lemmy.ml)

Just looking for advice/opinion. I bought from ebay, what i thought was an x220 Thinkpad with 8G of RAM..turned out only to have 4. I left a bad review but will keep the machine. I put Arch/Sway anyway.

I want to add RAM...i think it can go up to 16. I looked on line and i think it would be about $50 to buy the memory...so i thought o would find an online tutorial and add the memory myself...is this a bad idea?

I will...there is already 4, so i thought...add 12!

This should be interesting. I will check the link...i still have to order the memory.

First make sure that you got compatible memory! Also you could try to find used modules, they are available on craiglist and similar sites.
