In the links above, there are people who claimed that X220 could recognize
up to 16GB RAM though officially X220 is published to support up to 8GB
only. If I were to get one piece of 8GB DIMM, then with my existing 2GB
DIMM, shouldn't I get 10GB in total?

Awesome I didn't know that. Worth trying though if you can RAM to fit. And yes that would work 8GB + 2GB - IF it supports 16GB like they are claiming. Might try it myself now

If I have existing 2GB, plus one pc of 8GB, so I'll have 10GB useable,
right? Some Proliant servers I've encountered won't accept such
mixed DIMM sizes, thus, I'm enquiring here
