Hi Arthur,

Is Sandy Bridge E so different from Sandy Bridge? Would it be possible

Sandy Bridge E are high end desktop/server CPUs that have a different
socket (lga2011) and likely a different memory controller (4 channels
instead of 2).
A quick look at datasheet says nothing about maximum rank size.

I see.

to replace the 2620QM with an Ivy Bridge CPU?

Afaik that should be possible since the CPU is socketed on that model
but won't overcome your issue. (same limitation)

Thank your for your time to explain. Seems like I have to look for a new laptop then ;-).

It was a fun project, I learned a lot and I'm really impressed by the usability. Will definitely keep coreboot on the t520!

Best,

Thomas
