Checking and Upgrading RAM on the Lenovo G560 laptop

The Lenovo G560 laptop contains two physical memory sockets, which can be populated with 1GB, 2G, or 4GB modules for combinations of 1GB to 8GB of memory.

Standard config is 2GB. Maximum memory accesible: 4 gb using a 32-bit operating system / 8 gb using a 64-bit operating system

CPU-Z and other 3rd party software may either have a user interface designed to show what is populated in up to 4 sockets on the system board to handle systems like certain ThinkPad W510 models that have 4 sockets, or may simply be displaying this capability based on the core chipset used on the board, which is not reflected in the overall implemented design of the board itself, which only has 2 physical sockets.
