Hi, I have recently upgraded the ram on my W530 and thankfully when Lenovo assembled my machine they filled the keyboard slots first (2x8GB). I bought another (2 x 8GB) modules and stuck them on the bottom slots of the machine. I believe I got this originally from the Lenovo forum where there is a picture as well. It applies to W510 and W520. When buying additional memory DIMMs for ThinkPad W510 systems, Lenovo recommends that you populate the memory DIMM slots in the following order to take advantage of the best system performance. 8GB RAM Memory for IBM-Lenovo ThinkPad W520 (4 Slots) (DDR3-10600) - Laptop Memory Upgrade OFFTEK Part Number:-FT8GSK64V3U-1060268 Capacity:-8GB Module Form Factor:-204 Pin SoDimm Memory Type:-DDR3 Bandwidth:-DDR3-10600 (PC3-1333) Memory Specs:-204 Pin 1.5v DDR3 PC3-10600 SoDimm Premier Brand Memory.
