Simon, According to ThinkWiki (http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Unofficial_maximum_memory_specs) the maximum memory for the Thinkpad 240X is 256mb because the chipset cannot handle more than that. I have a Thinkpad 240 (2609-31U, 366Mhz cpu) that is running Windows 2000 very nicely with 320mb memory (onboard 64 + 256 pc-100 low density). It makes a great netbook for checking email and lite web surfing.
