    Thanks everyone. Moot - for now anyway -
    the ram stick is not compatible < or defective ? >
    G.Skill F3-12800CL9S-4GB SQ series DDR3-1600
    I tried it in every combination/position with the 2 old
    DIMMs - 1-3-3-1 beeps every time.
    Live & learn.
    One of the Lenovo forums had someone post that
    they always had troubles with the bargain ram with
    these machines..

    Exchanged the above for
    G.Skill F3-8500CL7S-4GB SQ DDR3-1066
    and it worked.
    " 6.00 GB installed 5.90 GB usable "
    < re-used the old 2 GB >
    Not sure if I'll see any performance improvement or not.
    Thanks for all the help everyone.

    Based on the reduction in speed from 12800 to 8500,
    it's a different generation of chip, and it might
    well be a 16-chip 4GB module.

    In this case, it's not a "bargain RAM" problem, but
    rather a density issue. And those are hard to detect
    without some "evidence" from previous failures to
    work. That gets your suspicions running, and provides
    the impetus to hunt down the docs (whereever they're
    hiding this week).

    I suspect you are right. This working DIMM has 8 chips;
    the prior one that didn't work had 4 chips.
    Although the 1 GB that was removed <working> had 4.
