Purpose and Fit

This kit adds 1 GB of PC133 SODIMM memory to compatible laptops such as the IBM ThinkPad T23. It targets owners of legacy systems who need a straightforward capacity increase for everyday tasks.

Deciding Specification

The memory operates at the PC133 standard, so the laptop must accept 133 MHz SDRAM in SODIMM form. If the machine requires a different speed or form factor this kit will not work.

Capacity and Limits

Two 512 MB modules provide the full 1 GB total, which suits light office applications and older operating systems. Demanding modern software or multitasking with large files will exceed the available headroom.

Questions about this item

How does the 1 GB total capacity affect performance in a ThinkPad T23?

The 1 GB total allows the T23 to run its supported operating systems with more applications open before relying on the hard drive for virtual memory.

What does the PC133 rating mean for the memory bus speed?

PC133 indicates the modules are rated for a 133 MHz memory bus, which matches the T23's front-side bus speed.

Will the two 512 MB SODIMMs fit the T23's memory slots?

Yes, each module uses the standard 144-pin SODIMM form factor with 25 mm height that the T23's two slots accept.
