The W540 I just got has two 8GB Samsung sticks of RAM installed-guessing the original. DDR3L-1600. My head says I do not need 32GB for email, surfing, the How-to YouTube video, and some light photo editing-but my heart says why not see how quickly and smoothly it runs (I've already done the Samsung 860 EVO SSD). My question is, do all four sticks need to be the same, or could there be two pairs of matching sticks as long as all four had the same specs? If two pair of matched sticks would work-says two Crucial in addition to the two Samsung, how should they oriented? The two sticks in there now are in slots 2 and 3 according to CPU-Z. TIA

Lenovo Thinkpad W530 Review

1. And that Lenovo link above that details which slots are which number is also inaccurate, at least for my recent W530 system. You still want to populate slots 0 & 1 first and then 2 & 3, but they are numbered different than before (or maybe newer ones are different than mine) I have a 2441-CQ7 i7 3840QM Quad with 4 slots date 1311, 2013 Nov.
