Hello,
I installed 16GB of (4x4GB PC-8500 DDR3) into a ThinkPad W510, so I
would imagine
this would work with a W500, as well, as it has four SO-DIMM sockets. It

recognized by
the chipset is, though, before you make purchase. And purchase from a
vendor with
a good return policy, just in case it doesn't work.
