Please don't spread FUD if you don't know what you are talking about.
Neither the RAM in the T410s nor the one in the X201 is even connected
to what remains of the "chipset" i.e. the southbridge in form of the
PCH/southbridge but directly to the memory controller in the CPU. The
chipset in the (QC version of the) W510 is actually exactly the same as
in the X201 and T410s: Ibex Peak.
